Resources on Intersex for Medical Curricula

Intersex Justice Project prioritizes working with medical students to make change on intersex issues at their own schools and hospitals.

This video is a recorded intersex health and justice education event at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The recorded lecture covers:

• intersex basics,
• human rights violations within medicine,
• medical and surgical research,
• diverse personal narratives of navigating the medical system as an intersex person,
• current Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) medical treatments,
• the problems with "nerve-sparing" clitoroplasties,
• affirming, gender inclusive and trauma-informed alternatives to the current standard of care
