A Scoping Review of Interprofessional Education Training Aimed to Improve 2SLGBTQ+ Health
Abstract This scoping review aims to identify and summarize the available literature on two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus (2SLGBTQ+) interprofessional health education and to identify optimal methods of interprofessional training to improve healthcare professional competency for this patient population. A search of Pubmed and Embase was conducted and supplemented with a manual search of reference lists from identified articles.
Extended Summary Introduction Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is the most common genetic condition cause of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). KS also often results in decreased testicular growth and testosterone production. Because of this, exogenous testosterone therapy is commonly prescribed for KS patients to treat hypogonadism, but this may have additional impacts to future fertility potential.

Hannah Georgas Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 22
Hannah Georgas Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 22 Published Oct 23, 2016 7 Hannah Georgas's new album, For Evelyn, leaves behind any doubt that the electronic-tinged sound of 2012's self-titled record might've just been a detour. Accordingly, her second of two Halifax Pop Explosion sets this year (following one on Friday, October 21 at the Carleton Bar & Grill) was built on a bed of synthesizers, a mix of live and electronic drums, and heavily affected guitar.
Partner Pavilion, Halifax NS, October 22
Partner Pavilion, Halifax NS, October 22 Published Oct 23, 2016 8 Partner are quickly becoming one of Canadian music's best worst-kept secrets. With just two digital singles and a tour-only cassette tape to their name (a full-length is apparently coming), the Sackville, NB band are already attracting audiences who arrive buzzed about what they're about to see.
Laura Sauvage Seahorse Tavern, Halifax NS, October 22
Laura Sauvage Seahorse Tavern, Halifax NS, October 22 Published Oct 23, 2016 6 Under a bed of green lights, Laura Sauvage took to the stage in a noisy Seahorse Tavern, by herself. "My band didn't make it," said Sauvage, the alter ego of sorts of Vivianne Roy, also known for her part in New Brunswick indie folk trio Les Hay Babies. "This is 'no one' on the drums," she joked, gesturing back to the empty kit, set up for the Barr Brothers' show that followed.
The Barr Brothers Seahorse Tavern, Halifax NS, October 22
The Barr Brothers Seahorse Tavern, Halifax NS, October 22 Published Oct 23, 2016 9 If you were clock-watching, Montreal's Barr Brothers put on what might've been one of the longest sets of this year's Halifax Pop Explosion: they started a bit early, filled their allotted hour, and then kept going as far past 2 a.m. as they reasonably could. If you were setlist-watching, though, it was anything but: the band got through fewer than 10 songs, by my count, even including the encore.
Gus's Pub, Halifax NS, October 21
Kestrels Gus's Pub, Halifax NS, October 21 Published Oct 22, 2016 Photo: Lindsay Duncan 7 "You guys want to go around the room and introduce everybody?" asked Kestrels vocalist Chad Peck of the crowd, noting the number of familiar faces in the Gus's Pub audience.

TUNS Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 21 Published Oct 22, 2016 Photo: Lindsay Duncan 8 If you were to organize a summit of Canada's best scientists and pop-heads and ask them to scientifically engineer an alt-rock vocal-harmony supergroup… it wouldn't be at all surprising if the result came out sounding an awful lot like TUNS.
Art Bar, Halifax NS, October 21
Heaven for Real Art Bar, Halifax NS, October 21 Published Oct 22, 2016 Photo: Lindsay Duncan 7 The perils of makeshift spaces: Heaven for Real's set at Halifax's Art Bar (a local artists' space), which closed out an early-evening Mint Records showcase, began with guitarist and vocalist Mark Grundy's amp faltering; later, a microphone shorted out for a brief window of time. Did it derail the set, though? Hardly.
Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20
Sara Schaefer Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20 Published Oct 21, 2016 8 Visiting Canada from the States, Sara Schaefer felt Canadians' pain regarding the U.S. election, going so far as to suggest that if the world ended tomorrow, she might well be fine with that. She leaned into this conceit with conviction by really taking the lemons life has given her, personally.
Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20
Aparna Nancherla Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20 Published Oct 21, 2016 7 "It kind of feels like we're in a series finale," Aparna Nancherla said, addressing the U.S. presidential election at the top of her set, then never referencing it again. The New York comic didn't show up in Halifax with a ton of new material and instead performed some of the strongest pieces from her latest album, 2016's Just Putting it Out There.
Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20
Mary Green Paul O'Regan Hall, Halifax NS, October 20 Published Oct 21, 2016 8 Fredericton NB's Mary Green didn't overplay her regional advantage, landing great, self-deprecating jokes about herself and her state of mind. Green began by sneaking in a couple of digs at her own city and Charlottetown, which was a subtle play at making Haligonians feel better about themselves.
Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 19
PUP Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 19 Published Oct 20, 2016 Photo: Lindsay Duncan 9 When you're a true band of road warriors — and, given they're in the midst of a 100-day tour, Toronto's PUP certainly fit the bill — your nightly challenge is to try and take something that's become banal and ordinary to you and make it flirt, every so slightly, with being extraordinary.
Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 19
White Lung Marquee Club, Halifax NS, October 19 Published Oct 20, 2016 Photo: Lindsay Duncan 7 "I'm supposed to be watching the debate right now," said White Lung vocalist Mish Barber-Way, who moved to Los Angeles from the band's home base of Vancouver a few years ago.
