The field of Radiology must adapt to support patients and workforce members whose identity extends beyond traditional binary gender models of male and female. In this session, participants will learn about experiences of transgender and/or gender diverse (TGD) persons as they navigate the current healthcare environment. Employees in the Radiology workforce will also discuss challenges faced by TGD persons and how Radiology practices can adapt facilities and practices to be more inclusive. We will discuss how to accurately collect more inclusive and comprehensive gender data to drive initiatives for recruitment and retention in Radiology. The session will close with a panel discussion offering tangible examples for supporting TGD peers and patients in our Radiology community.
