Welcome to Queer MEDucation

Hello Queer MEDies!

Hello and welcome to the introductory episode of Queer MEDucation. I am your host Kerin “KB” Berger. I am a Physician Assistant practicing in Los Angeles California. My pronouns are She/Her/Hers and I identity as a queer woman.

I am excited to launch the very first season of Queer MEDucation. This podcast is a series of expert interviews featuring medical providers, mental health professionals, advocates, and community members.

There is a huge gap between the medical community and the queer community in terms of competency, research, general knowledge, and overall resources. My goal with this podcast is to bridge that gap by educating medical professionals and the general population on LGBTQI+GNC health and well-being. This season will feature a slew of individuals and organizations that dedicate their lives to improving health and mental health outcomes. We will discuss how to create sex positive primary are with a physician practicing in Los Angeles. We will dive into HIV medications with a clinical pharmacist and discuss treatment protocols from the 1980s to today. We will chat with a PA working in gender affirming surgery and learn the many options of surgical transition. We have the pleasure of conversing with the founders of a queer hair salon in Long Beach California where we evaluate the relationship between physical and mental health and hair.

I am excited and privileged to introduce Season 1 of Queer MEDucation. Please tune every week for new episodes. For information about upcoming episodes, visit us at queermeducation.com.
