The transgender population is a small yet distinctive portion of the gynecology patient population, requiring both primary care and specialty services. Recognizing the need for increased education, the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) developed objectives specific to the care of transgender patients. This study is to assess residency program directors' knowledge about the transgender health CREOG objectives, describe how objectives are being implemented in training programs, and identify what types of educational materials would be useful if available. In May 2014, an 11-item anonymous survey was sent through e-mail to all eligible program directors of accredited obstetrics and gynecology residency programs. The short questionnaire contained questions about program demographics, approach to training residents with regard to the CREOG objectives, and opinions on tools they would like to use to train their residents on the transgender CREOG objectives. Just under half (47%) of the 86 geographically diverse respondents were from hospital-based programs. The majority reported that the transgender health objectives were important (82%); however, only 70% were familiar with the objectives themselves. Most respondents (96%) felt that providing an educational activity in their training program would be beneficial for their residents' education. Most program directors support the CREOG transgender health objectives and are in favor of implementing educational tools to meet the objectives, suggesting that development of new tools to meet this need would be useful. Future endeavors will be made toward build a training module to facilitate obstetrics and gynecology (Ob-Gyn) programs meeting the CREOG objectives.
跨性别群体是妇科患者群体中规模虽小但独具特色的一部分，既需要初级保健服务，也需要专科服务。认识到加强教育的必要性，妇产科住院医师教育委员会（CREOG）制定了针对跨性别患者护理的具体目标。本研究旨在评估住院医师培训项目主任对跨性别健康CREOG目标的了解程度，描述这些目标在培训项目中的实施方式，并确定如果有可用的话哪些类型的教育材料会有用。2014年5月，通过电子邮件向所有经认可的妇产科住院医师培训项目的合格项目主任发送了一份包含11个项目的匿名调查问卷。这份简短的问卷包含了关于项目人口统计学、针对CREOG目标培训住院医师的方法以及他们对用于培训住院医师掌握跨性别CREOG目标的工具的看法等问题。在86名来自不同地理位置的受访者中，略少于一半（47%）来自医院所属项目。大多数受访者表示跨性别健康目标很重要（82%）；然而，只有70%的人熟悉这些目标本身。大多数受访者（96%）认为在他们的培训项目中开展一项教育活动对住院医师的教育会有益处。大多数项目主任支持CREOG跨性别健康目标，并赞成实施教育工具以实现这些目标，这表明开发满足这一需求的新工具会很有用。未来将努力构建一个培训模块，以促进妇产科（Ob - Gyn）项目实现CREOG目标。
