Associate Chief of Staff for Primary Care Dr. Jamie Buth has won the Forum for Equality’s 2017 Acclaim Award for Health.
The Forum for Equality honored Dr. Buth with the award for her “service to our community and our country, in particular (her) advocacy for transgender Veterans.”
“I am grateful to be able to care for our transgendered Veterans,” said Dr. Buth. “Being different is hard but most hard is to feel unwanted by the system. I appreciate their strength, their determination and their beauty, and I will always try to provide the care they deserve.”
Dr. Buth has been caring for transgender Veterans since 1997. She is a board certified internal medicine specialist and a graduate of St. Louis University Medical School. She holds a master’s degree in Health Care Management from the Harvard School of Public Health and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine.
In addition, she is a member of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). Last year, she presented a poster on her work at WPATH’s 24th Biennial Scientific Symposium in Amsterdam, Netherlands: ‘Prevalence & Characteristics of Transsexuals Treated at a Veterans Health Administration Facility in New Orleans.’
In 2016, she began to provide care for transgender Veterans in central Louisiana through the Alexandria VA Medical Center.
Dr. Buth is a co-author of a book on transgender health care, “Medical Therapy and Health Maintenance for Transgender Men: A Guide for Health Care Providers.”
