Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Gender Affirming Care

Background:

  • Currently, no formal educational programs exist for surgeons or residents specializing in gender confirmation surgery.
  • This gap highlights a critical need for structured training in this specialized surgical field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose guiding principles for developing formal surgical training programs in gender confirmation surgery.
  • To establish a framework for educating surgeons to provide comprehensive care for transgender and gender nonconforming individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized expert opinion to develop a novel framework for surgical training.
  • Described a multidisciplinary treatment model encompassing educational philosophy and quality parameters.

Main Results:

  • Presented a foundational framework for surgical training in gender confirmation procedures.
  • This article marks a significant first step towards a structured educational program.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework was unanimously approved by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health Board of Directors.
  • This framework is intended to evolve with further data and outcome measurements, serving as a basis for future guidelines.
