In response to the growing need for treatment for transgender individuals, the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City has launched two medical fellowships – the first of their kind in the United States.

The fellowships, one in transgender surgery and the other in transgender psychiatry, have been given to Bella Avanessian, MD, who completed a plastic surgery residency, and to Matthew Dominguez, MD, who completed a general adult psychiatry residency.

"These fellowships will train the next generation of surgeons and psychiatrists to improve healthcare disparities in the transgender community," he added in a press release.

Dr Ting noted that the fellowships were created upon realization that there were none with this type of transgender focus in the United States – a statistic that wasn't surprising to him.

"Before I started doing these operations, I had very little knowledge of transgender people and how to care for them. That wasn't something that was taught in traditional medical education," he said.

"Thankfully, now things are changing, as transgender health is becoming a part of medical school curriculum and residency training."

This can have the potential to create more doctors who are trans savvy.

I know that UConn School of Medicine has training for their medical students on trans health care, they have a LGBT panel for their students that I have been on for the last ten years or so.

Also the fellowships are not the only initiative for trans healthcare, there is also a call for grant proposals by the NIH for the development of an evidence-based for transgender affirming medical school curriculum.
