Abstract

A digital clinician training module significantly improved attitudes, beliefs, and self-perceived competence in a cohort of medical students (n=87) toward working with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people with eating disorders. Future clinician training resources can adopt this cost-effective and accessible learning model and build upon existing introductory attitude- and awareness-based programs by focusing on addressing a specific health disparity among TGD people.
