Towards Gender Inclusive Healthcare: Improving Transgender healthcare education amongst medical students

该研究旨在了解医学生和跨性别用户对性别不符合医疗保健使用经验的看法，并探索医学生成功培训机会的模式。在建构主义的视角下，本研究将对纽卡斯尔变性人社区的成员进行焦点小组访谈，以了解他们与医疗服务提供者互动的经历。然后，这些数据将被转化为案例研究材料，这些材料将被纳入医学生的培训研讨会，使他们能够与跨性别患者进行角色扮演医患互动。专题小组访谈和研讨会期间收集的问题（参与者观察数据，调查数据和精英访谈数据），将进行分析，以更深入地了解医学生和跨性别用户对性别不符合医疗保健经验的看法，并反思研讨会作为在专业实践中实施文化变革的手段的效用，特别注重提高当代医学教育学的包容性。
