Forthcoming ENS Position Statement

We wish to inform all ENS members that a team is preparing a ENS Position Statement on Transgender Care. We have engaged patient stakeholders and a diverse group of providers across disciplines for input. We anticipate that the draft will be ready by the end of July and will be open for comment by members and then voted on by the Board. We invite any members who are involved in the care of transgnder patients to share their thoughts and perspectives with the writing team. Please contact Andrew Dwyer (andrew.dwyer@bc.edu) or Deb Greenspan (tmwdlg@att.net) to share your experience. We look forward to hearing from you!
