One Man's Journey & What Providers Need to Know

In this episode of the RMU Pulse Podcast, host Jody sits down with Kris Packer, Interim Director of Student Engagement and Success at RMU, and Brad Doll, physician assistant and PA program faculty member, for an honest conversation about transgender healthcare.

Kris shares his personal journey transitioning female to male nearly 10 years ago in Utah — including the challenges of finding affirming providers, navigating hormone therapy, and the ongoing medical monitoring that comes with transition.

Brad brings the clinical perspective, discussing what healthcare providers need to know to treat transgender patients well — from adjusting medications and screening protocols to simply approaching every patient with what he calls being "compassionately curious."

Together, they make the case that good transgender healthcare isn't just about medical knowledge; it's about willingness to learn, checking personal bias at the door, and meeting every patient as a human being first.
