Transcending Boundaries: Perspectives on being Transgender in Today's Society
Date: 12th October, 2016
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: Meadows Lecture Theatre
Education on transgender issues and healthcare are rarely included on the undergraduate medical curriculum. For both medical and non-medics, this is a truly unique opportunity to gain greater awareness of a topic which is an important but often overlooked part of today's society.
1. PROFESSOR RICHARD ANDERSON: Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Edinburgh, will talk about the management and treatment of transgender individuals with a focus on the underlying endocrinology.
2. JAI NICALLEN: A transgender medical student at the University of Dundee, will be providing a more personal experience. Jai has written for Student BMJ about life as a transgender medical student and won the 2016 Diversity Young Scot Award for campaigning for trans issues.
3. TANNER GIBBINS-KLEIN: A transgender student at the University of Bradford and highly experienced trans awareness training provider, will be exploring the psychosocial aspects related to being transgender.
