Abstract
Dedicated centers of excellence have emerged as a mechanism to provide comprehensive, high-quality care within specific clinical areas or to certain populations. Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations patients often have unique health needs and may find it difficult to receive appropriate care given the lack of training regarding transgender healthcare among providers and availability of culturally sensitive care. Centers for excellence can fill this gap by leveraging expertise across multi-disciplinary teams to provide comprehensive care to TGD patients. In this chapter, we explore the structure and function of a transgender center of excellence, using the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery as model.
