Jennifer Madden, a family practitioner interested in medical care and hormone therapy for transgender individuals, discussed the history of transgender health care and research and current practices for primary practitioners providing care for transgendered patients in a lecture to Dartmouth Medical School students and other members of the Dartmouth community in Chilcott Auditorium, on Tuesday.

Madden, who came out as a transsexual in her 40s, said she could "not remember an LGBT conference ever being given during [her] years in college or medical school" because of the lack of knowledge and acceptance of gender variance.
