Duke Student Health coordinates LGBTQIA+ affirming care with the Duke University Health System. Medical providers with experience providing health care to LGBTQIA+ communities and minorities maintain a regular schedule at Duke Student Health. You can receive general medical care, and transition-related medical care such as hormone therapy, referrals to specialists at Duke for gender-affirming surgery, support for students exploring gender identity, and assistance with making decisions regarding medical-related transition at Duke Student Health.
To meet with a provider at Student Health, follow Student Health instructions to make an appointment and request to meet with a provider for LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
On-Campus:
The Duke Counseling and Psychological Services serves all Duke students, including those who identify as transgender, genderqueer, and non-binary. With the CAPS Open Access Model, you can meet with a counselor for a brief, 15-minute assessment and evaluation. You will leave with recommendations about next steps in your care, which may be at CAPS, another campus resource, or in the community. CAPS (https://studentaffairs.duke.edu/caps) staff are trained in writing letters for both hormone therapy and surgery, if required from your medical provider.
While CAPS can serve most students' needs in-house, Lia Gilmore, Referral Services Coordinator at CAPS, can help refer you to a knowledgeable, affirming and/or trans-identified mental health provider in the local community if you need longer-term or more specialized care than CAPS can provide. You can reach Lia at 919-660-1012 or liadainn.gilmore@duke.edu.
You can also speak with a member of the CSGD for help identifying an affirming CAPS provider.
Off- Campus:
For information about affirming mental health therapists and psychiatrists within the local community, please contact the CSGD staff for more information.
