Intersex Health: Information and Resources for Medical Students

(we’ll add closed captions to this video in the next few days)

In this webinar, Te Ngākau Kahukura and Intersex Aotearoa shared information and research about intersex health and what it means to use a human rights framework in this context.

We discussed language, patient-centred care, and access to community support. Our goal with this webinar was to increase confidence for medical students about how to engage with intersex people - people with variations of sex characteristics - and their parents and whānau.

We put together this session for medical students in Aotearoa, supported by the New Zealand Medical Students' Association.
