Funded by Women’s Xchange 15k Challenge and in collaboration with Rainbow Health Ontario and an Advisory Group of trans community members and their allies, we adapted and expanded the in-person trans-affirming care curriculum to an e-learning version for nurses who have already completed online Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Training. We successfully piloted and evaluated the e-Learning curriculum with these nurses. The e-Learning curriculum was then redeveloped in March 2021 to broaden its applicability for other general healthcare and social service providers and is available free of cost on the trans-LINK Network WebPortal.
