Why This Matters in California

California’s Senate Bill 923 (TGI Inclusive Care Act), effective January 2023, requires health plans and providers to ensure that physicians and clinical staff receive training in culturally competent care for transgender, gender diverse, and intersex (TGI) patients.

For physicians, this means building the skills and knowledge to deliver care that is affirming, evidence-based, and legally compliant. Patients across California deserve respectful treatment that recognizes their gender identity and lived experiences, and compliance with SB 923 ensures providers are prepared to meet that standard.

Review best practices in medical care for transgender and gender diverse patients.

Identify and address barriers to care, including systemic and interpersonal bias.

Why California Patients Benefit

When physicians practice affirming and inclusive care, transgender and gender diverse patients are more likely to seek and remain engaged in healthcare. Inclusive training helps reduce disparities, improve trust, and ensure that patients experience consistent and equitable care across the state. Aligning physician practice with SB 923 strengthens the overall quality of care and creates a more supportive healthcare environment for TGI patients in California.

This course is intended for physicians and residents in California, as well as healthcare providers seeking to fulfill SB 923 requirements.

It is also valuable for clinical leaders who want to set a standard of TGI-inclusive care across their organizations.
