Summary

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.
