Family Medicine Gender Wellness Physician (Fox Susquehanna, Oneonta, NY)

Overview

Bassett Healthcare Network, a progressive, academic health system in central New York and major teaching affiliate of Columbia University is seeking a full-time MD/DO for its Susquehanna Family Practice/Gender Wellness Center (QFP/GWC) (www.genderwellnesscenter.com); with the option to participate as a fellow in our one-year, New York State Department of Health Transgender Clinical Scholars Training Program (NYSDOH TCST).

QFP/GWC has been offering high quality, evidence-based primary care in Oneonta since 1994. In 2007, we began embedding transgender and gender diverse (TGD) healthcare into our primary care practice. From 2016-2019, members of our interdisciplinary team received leadership training from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to create a rural-based center for TGD healthcare that provides gender affirming medical, mental health, surgical care, legal advocacy, training/education, and conducts community-based research. (https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/77220). We have served over 1500 TGD youth and adults in our family practice. In 2023, we were awarded a grant from the NYS DOH to develop a fellowship program to train a new generation of health care providers. Our fellows learn to address healthcare disparities for TGD people across the life span, making health care more accessible, sensitive, and effective. We share educational resources with our partner programs at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center and Mount Sinai in NYC. We are now recruiting for our second year of this program.
