- Utilize interventions and resources for LGBTQ+ healthcare.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for all healthcare professional learners and provider types.
Statement of Need
Past research has shown a significant lack of national recognition and attention in LGBTQ+ education for learners and providers. For example, many healthcare professionals have never received any LGBTQ+ education, and for professionals who have received some training, it is typically minimal (i.e., less than 1 hour per year). Concurrently, many providers harbor implicit and explicit biases about LGBTQ+ people, do not feel well informed on LGBTQ+ care, and rarely routinely incorporate identity into healthcare delivery (see outcarehealth.org/research for more information regarding these significant concerns).
Medium/Method of Participation
The activity consists of an on-demand video course with assessments separated into 8 modules. Participants may complete The National LGBTQ+ Curriculum: Part I all at once or in increments. The total time of completion is approximately 4-5 hours. Progress is saved as you proceed through the training, so you can jump back in at any time. Of note, participants must complete The National LGBTQ+ Curriculum: Part I within ninety (90) days of enrollment before access expires.
