Promoting transgender healthcare competency: simulation scenario for medical students
Simulation-based learning on transgender healthcare is an effective educational tool for medical students with limited prior exposure to TGD topics. Although students faced challenges, particularly in using correct pronouns, discussing sexual practices, and providing preventive counseling, they demonstrated engagement and receptivity to the scenario. These findings suggest that realistic simulation scenarios can enhance cultural competence and prepare students to provide affirming care to TGD individuals, regardless of prior experience learning about and working with this community.
