Abstract
Historically, the majority of differences in sex development or intersex trait (dsd/I)-specific medical care has been provided by pediatric clinicians, leading to a dearth of adult clinicians qualified to care for this vulnerable population, and pediatricians reticent to transition patients to adult care. Recent changes in routine care of children and infants with dsd/I, including reconsidering the role of early genital surgeries, highlight the critical need to address the gaps in adult dsd/I health care. In this perspective, we describe three key educational and research approaches that can be implemented to build competency to care for adults with dsd/I and improve care across the lifespan.
