The title of "WPATH GEI SOC 8 Certified Member" requires a commitment to stay on top of current evidence and receive ongoing continuing education to maintain certification.

Learn about groups you can join that apply towards WPATH mentorship hours. Currently eight groups can count towards eight of the total ten hours of mentorship needed.
