HELPING PROVIDERS NAVIGATE TRANSGENDER CARE
As the only multi-disciplinary Transgender Health Program in the Mountain West, we are committed to providing education and resources to providers looking for more information. Your practice can take advantage of our transgender health best practice trainings or participate in annual clinical CME (continuing medical education) opportunities on this topic.
For information on fellowship and medical student learning opportunities as well as a list of academic publications please visit our School of Medicine page.
Referrals
When you refer a patient to U of U Health, our commitment is to keep you informed of our diagnosis and treatment plan. Referring providers, please submit a referral through our website.
We will contact you within 1-2 business days of the referral.
Please email us if you have any questions in the referral process at transgenderhealth@hsc.utah.edu. Following a physician referral, a provider may request to receive patient care updates via the U of U Health Epic Link system.
Education
Providers may access the latest information in transgender care through these ongoing educational opportunities:
- Utah AETC Project ECHO Series: Learn from leading experts on the unbiased delivery of health care, gaining insights on best practices on a wide range of issues for populations experiencing health disparities. Sessions occur the 4th Wednesday of every month 12 pm - 1 pm (MST) via Zoom.
- The Mountain West Transforming Care Conference: Join an interdisciplinary conference that brings together primary care providers, advanced care clinicians, mental health providers, and others seeking to advance the health of communities within the Mountain West who are experiencing disparities, inadequate services, and support.
Letters of Support
Referring providers and patients should be aware that the U of U Health follows the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care, which requires letters of support to be provided for most surgical services. These letters should be written by a mental health professional.
A patient’s insurance plan may require additional letters or requirements. Patients should contact their insurance directly.
Please send these letters to our team via email to transgenderhealth@hsc.utah.edu or fax them to 801-581-2296 with Attn: Transgender Health Program.
