"It's about understanding cross-cultural competency, and being empathetic, respectful and curious in equal parts."

The summit also included a variety of sessions including how to foster an understanding of treating transgender patients in mental health settings, understanding the scope of transgender medical and surgical therapies, preventative care measures, and understanding hormone replacement therapy. A panel of patients discussed their experiences in health care to offer current and future providers a first-hand perspective.
"A patient's level of care shouldn't be impacted because they have a gender identity or sexual orientation different from what we see as a social norm," Rivera said.
