The Pharmacist’s Role in Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Care

The transgender and gender non-conforming community face considerable barriers to quality of healthcare. These individuals have had a difficult time finding healthcare and thus are less likely to seek proper treatment. Pharmacists are uniquely positioned as healthcare professionals to not only counsel patients on medication use but also offer a final crosscheck to ensure optimal adherence and health outcomes. As such, pharmacists require education on the unique needs to this community and the challenges they face.
