Live Grand Rounds: Today’s ‘Genderation’ of Youth: The Ethics and Evidence Behind the Standard of Care

Dr. Leibowitz will provide an overview of the most recent edition of the Adolescent chapter in the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) Standard of Care. WPATH is the leading international authority on transgender healthcare and has been in existence since 1979 when it published its first set of guidelines that made no mention of children or adolescents. Prior to this 8th edition, which was published in September 2022, the previous iteration (7th edition) was published over a decade prior. Join Dr. Leibowitz as he discusses the research and ethics regarding care for children and adolescents with gender related needs, and standards of care for this population.

Live Grand Rounds: Late Identification of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD): Clinical Issues and Challenges.

Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) continues to be one of the most misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and underappreciated neurodevelopmental conditions in mental health. Given the high comorbidities present, clinicians cannot avoid working with these individuals and often do so unknowingly. This results in - at best - attenuated outcomes and - at worst - a worsening of the patient’s condition from misattributing the patient’s presenting symptoms and concerns to other factors. Part of the problem stems from misconceptions and biases influencing clinical practice (and even clinical education) for one of the highest genetically inherited psychiatric conditions contained in the DSM. This presentation endeavors to increase participants’ awareness of the clinical issues and challenges in identifying ADHD later in life, as well as to some of their own possible biases/misconceptions, through a series of illustrative clinical vignettes. Ultimately, it is hoped that this presentation will stimulate curiosity, further inquiry, and collegial discussion that will improve diagnostic identification, treatment outcomes, and the quality of life for those with ADHD.

Live Professional Workshop: The Why's and How's of LGBTQ+ Affirmative Care

The presentation will focus on addressing the importance of providing tailored, culturally competent, LGBTQ+ affirmative psychological interventions to LGBTQ individuals. We will cover how the impact of perceived heterosexist bias, homophobia, and therapists’ general lack of understanding and/or adequate training of gender and sexual diversity may result in distrust and/or avoidance of medical or mental health services. The lecture will provide healthcare providers with a deeper understanding of the significance of LGBTQ affirmative care and equip them with strategies and practical tips for delivering culturally competent and respectful care to all patients, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The goal is to empower healthcare providers to make positive changes in their approach to LGBTQ patient care.
