Gender Affirming Care Across BU/BMC

Join us for a panel to learn more about gender affirming care initiatives for BU students, staff, faculty, and our family. From direct services and providers to our medical school curriculum, panelists will speak about current initiatives and services that Boston University and Boston Medical Center currently provide in support of gender affirming care.  Although the panel will be focused on BU and BMC, panelists will also speak about the national landscape and recent restrictive legislation and attacks on gender affirming care across more than half the states in the US as well as federally. Panelists include:
