clinical skill development

The Conference Planning Committee would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the attendees of the WEOHT Trans Health Clinical Skill Development Conference. Active participation and engagement have provided valuable insights and suggestions to help support the Windsor-Essex Trans Community. These contributions will be reviewed and considered as next steps in a regional plan, which will be submitted to the Windsor Essex Ontario Health Team for endorsement.
