Abstract
As the world grows more diverse, physicians and public health practitioners must become adept at providing care to everyone, including people who identify as transgender or gender diverse (TGD). Although this population is growing in all age demographics, there is a large increase in young TGD individuals who require pediatric health care providers to improve their practices. While a few comprehensive care clinics have been established to serve the TGD community, they are mostly located in urban areas. In addition to the unique barriers faced by rural TGD youth, providers must care for their patients with limited resources. In this commentary, we offer a set of recommendations to improve provider education, build connections between the health system and community, address the fragmentation of health services in rural areas and improve the transition from pediatric to adult health care.
