UConn Medical School Invites Trans People to Train Students in ‘Gender-Affirming Care’
“The initiative came from the school’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and former program director Sandra Scippa.”

UConn invites trans people to train med students in ‘gender-affirming care’
The University of Connecticut Medical School is hosting transgender individuals as practice patients this month to train students in providing “gender-affirming” care.
Groups of students will role-play a doctor’s visit with trans-identifying individuals, practicing how to ask for their pronouns and offer care, The Register Citizen reported.
Afterward, the students and the “patients” will review the interactions together, discussing ways to improve the experience.
One of the “patients,” Dylan Bachmanm, “shares his health care experiences with the medical students at the University of Connecticut to show them how they can foster a safe clinical environment for trans patients,” according to The Citizen.
The outlet also states that Bachmanm works at the school “to diversify the types of patients students work with before they head into the field to foster a more inclusive workforce.”
Bachmanm tells the students about “his” personal healthcare experiences to “make medical offices safer for all minority populations,” the outlet reported.
“After that first session with my first students, I left feeling like I have maybe made a difference for other trans people and maybe other bigger-bodied people,” Bachmanm said.
“But also, I feel like I opened up a good communication channel for these students that I don’t think people have unless they have the person who’s going through it to talk to them,” Bachmanm said.
The initiative came from the school’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and former program director Sandra Scippa.
Scippa said students typically work with retirees within the community, but the school is working to diversify the kinds of patients students practice with.
Administrative Curriculum Coordinator Teresa Sapieha-Yanchak said the school needed 10 transgender participants for the “gender-affirming training” but recieved 40 inquiries, CT Insider reported.

Don’t think of this as “spending a lot of money to buy an expensive lawsuit” – think of it as “investing in bankruptcy.”
UConn will con you.
The entire northeastern part of the country is now under Communist control. Every election of consequence is stolen using every imaginable kind of fraud. All decent people need to move away as soon as they can because there will be no saving those states.
Might I suggest some gender affirming care protocols that UConn could profitably develop: a gym session, white water rafting on an Idaho river, week-long backpacking trip along the northern PCT, for those of age a Bourbon whiskey tasting and cigar smoking tour, wagyu rib eye steak grilling class and dinner, Restoring a 1955 Chevy, North Carolina whole hog barbecuing class and dinner, Alaskan salmon fishing expedition, Colorado hang gliding, Maine skydiving, … As the reader can surmise, I am not too imaginative concerning gender affirming care for those seeking more refined experiences but I’m sure that some kind soul can fill in the gap.
I do predict that if UConn develops the right protocols with an attractive price point – and possibly eligible for medical insurance markdowns, then their gender affirming care clientele (and national influence) will grow phenomenally. Moreover, I suggest that with the right protocols, UConn can ease most, if not all, legislative concerns about gender affirming care.
