It was an amazing course throughout and a special appreciation to the meticulous surgery modules which manged to cover the entirety of the procedures and still managed to be short and crisp.

This was an amazing course! Transgender medicine is not taught as a part of the medicial curriculum in my country. It was a delight to attend this interesting and engaging course!

Videos are cut down versions of longer presentations, which is fine except the quizzes cover content that is not directly addressed in them. Course also does not address things that I would consider reasonable for providers to know about such as complications from binding or tucking, the effects of HRT, the informed consent model for medical transition, and WPATH standards (WPATH gets mentioned in a quiz but is not included in the videos/materials themselves which is one of the biggest signs that the videos cut out critical material).

Surgery part was excellent. I found the HRT regimens lacking in nuance.
