"Harvard Medical School dropped a course off its schedule after a conservative media outlet questioned fee waivers for trans students. The online three-day class, "Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health: A Core Course for the Whole Care Team," had originally been scheduled from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, but The Harvard Crimson reported the Fenway Institute-developed course had been postponed. That came after the National Review contacted the university and questioned how it could legally waive $650 fees for transgender and gender-diverse participants."
"Under pricing, the site mentions a $10 non-refundable processing fee on registrations, but lists no price for the course in question. A course description remains viewable. That states the curriculum was developed "in response to the high volume of queries from clinicians and health care staff seeking to learn about providing high-quality care for adults, adolescents, and children who are transgender or gender diverse.""
Harvard Medical School postponed an online three-day course, 'Advancing Excellence in Transgender Health: A Core Course for the Whole Care Team,' originally scheduled Oct. 31–Nov. 2, after a conservative outlet questioned the legality of waiving $650 fees for transgender and gender-diverse participants. The course page subsequently removed any listed price and references to fee waivers, now showing only a $10 non-refundable processing fee and "Upcoming dates to be announced soon." The course curriculum was developed in response to clinicians' requests for training and covers best clinical practices grounded in research evidence. Sessions are led by faculty specialized in transgender health and include lived experience panels and interactive components.
