Working Group on Gender (WGG)
Web-based Training Modules
The LGBTQ+ health Series is the ideal forum to discuss research and clinical issues on various topics relevant to the health, mental health, and well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and communities.
The Working Group on Gender (WGG) is an interdisciplinary network of service providers and researchers from the New York Metropolitan Area, whose work focuses on children, adolescents, and/or adults with gender dysphoria or somatic intersexuality.
We create web-based training opportunities from guidelines for healthcare providers working with LGBTQ+ patients to strategies for employers who looking to recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
LGBTQ+ Health Fellowship
We train the next generation of LGBTQ+ researchers, clinicians, and educators.
