Answer preview

It is important to note that various institutions in the healthcare sector work together to ensure the recognition of other forms of sexes and genders to provide personalized care. Miller et al. (2016) illustrate that more research is being conducted to understand gender and sex differences and how they influence care delivery. For instance, epigenetics is an area of research that psychology is concerned with in understanding the impact of environmental aspects on how genes are manifested in individuals (McLeod, 2018). A crucial step towards enhancing improved care delivery entails the implementation of sex and gender education in healthcare institutions to ensure healthcare practitioners have the competencies to provide personalized care to the various sexes and gender beyond the male and female identities.
