The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of the complexities of sex and gender as they impact a specific group of healthcare professionals today.
Create a a 10 min paper in which you tell an engaging and informative story to a target group of healthcare professionals such as radiologists, dental technicians, PTAs, respiratory therapists, or administrators.
Your story can be funny or serious, but it should convey the following information in whatever order makes sense to you:
· Your target audience.
· The differences between sex and gender.
· Important biological and behavioral differences between males and females that are crucial to providing adequate care by your target group.
o Include how the complexities of gender identity create challenges for healthcare professionals who must treat the biological sex of patients who identify with the opposite gender. Describe one of those differences as it relates to your target group’s field of care and explain the risk factor(s) it poses.
· Educate your audience about how a lack of gender-based prevention, management, and therapy negatively impacts care for males and females.
· Identify new approaches to gender-based care -- such training medical personal, changing clinical procedures, altering therapies, and drug development -- that might benefit patients of both sexes and explain why you consider them to be important.
