WPATH 28th Scientific Symposium “A Gender Diverse World in Global Unity”

Ethics is what guides healthcare professionals in their work. The importance of ethics reflection in gender care medicine is increasingly recognized. This symposium examines the ethical dimensions of the Standards of Care, version 8 (SOC8), illustrating their application in clinical practice and case navigation. It not only discusses the ethics embedded in SOC8 but also demonstrates the impact of these principles across various cultural backdrops, enhancing understanding of ethical decision-making in diverse healthcare environments. Additionally, this symposium serves as a platform for WPATH members to gain insights into the role and function of the WPATH Ethics Committee, fostering better understanding and interaction among the committee and WPATH members.
