Abstract

Little is known about how physician learners are assessed following educational interventions about providing gender-affirming care to transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. The inclusion of learner assessments with educational interventions is essential to understand and measure health professionals' knowledge and skills. We seek to describe how the medical literature has approached the assessment of learners following educational interventions about TGD health. A scoping literature review was done. The guiding research question was "What are the current learner-assessment practices in medical education pedagogy about TGD health?" A total of 270 manuscripts were reviewed. 17 manuscripts were included for data extraction. Miller's pyramid was used to categorize results. 15 used pre- and post-intervention knowledge questionaries to assess learners. Six used simulated patient encounters to assess learners. Most assessments of TGD knowledge and skills among physician learners are pre- and post-surveys. There is sparse literature on higher level assessment following educational interventions that demonstrate learner skills, behaviors, or impact on patient outcomes. Discrete, one-time interventions that are lecture or workshop-based have yet to rigorously assess learners' ability to provide clinical care to TGD patients that is both culturally humble and clinically astute.
