Description
Llizane McDonald and Simpiwe Sobuwa present a case study of a curriculum change for transgender patient equity in a South African paramedic program, in a 2026 paper. Transgender health is thinly taught in most medical schools, most of all in prehospital care. Patients then meet bias and poor care from first responders with too little training for the task.
The change ran in an undergraduate paramedic degree over a span of years, told as a reflective case study. It set out what the new content taught and how students and staff took it. The aim is a route other programs can copy, toward fair first care for all.
