"Excellence in Gender-Affirming Care" virtual training set for Oct. 8-9

An upcoming virtual training and education seminar aims to expand health care at WVU Medicine to be responsive and sensitive to the needs of transgender and gender diverse patients.

This training marks the third in a series of educational webinars presented by Ruben Hopwood, MDiv, PhD. This event was rescheduled from May due to COVID-19.
