Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic
Image The Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic at Children's Hospital Boston is a new multidisciplinary clinic that treats the medical and psychosocial issues of infants, children, adolescents and young adults with disorders of sexual differentiation (DSDs).

Many of our patients face medical issues that may make it difficult to determine their sex and may interfere with sexual and reproductive function. Therefore, we work closely with patients and their families to find the treatment that works best for everyone involved.

We are also the first major program in the United States that not only treats disorders of sexual differentiation, but also works with transgendered children and young adults.
