SCIENTIFIC EVENTS
FACIALTEAM’S Training & Education functions parallel to the Research & Development department with the common objective of innovating the field of gender affirming surgery. The reach towards the development of medical standards in facial gender confirmation surgery (FGCS), or facial feminization, forms the foundation of the team’s scientific activity which may be described in 4 distinct branches:
- Research, Investigation and Technology as applied to FFS Surgery
- Workshops on Gender affirming surgery for healthcare professionals
- Intensive Facial Feminization Surgery Training Programs in Spain and the USA
- Presentation of knowledge at international medical congresses, building bridges across different areas of practice and raising awareness of facial gender confirming procedures.
