Ethical Decision Making in Transgender Care

Speaker: Dr. Beth Clark, Clinical Ethicist
Topic: Ethical Decision Making in Transgender Care

Trans Care BC’s Clinical Speaker Series is an opportunity for registered health care providers to learn from experts providing gender-affirming care to trans, Two-Spirit, and gender diverse people. In our upcoming session on February 10th, Dr. Beth Clark will focus on using ethical decision-making frameworks to address current issues in transgender care. Discussion will centre around applying ethical principles and intersectional feminist bioethics approaches in clinical practice.

Bio: Dr. Clark is a clinical ethicist whose work focuses on increasing access to care for marginalized communities.

Dr. Clark completed a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies at The University of British Columbia, with a dissertation on healthcare and ethical decision making among trans youth, caregivers, and healthcare providers in British Columbia. Several peer-reviewed papers have been published based on this work and other research projects on trans healthcare.

At Brandeis University, Dr. Clark currently holds the Allen-Berenson Fellowship in Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies, conducting research on moral objection to gender-affirming care and teaching courses in feminist bioethics and transgender health.
