OutTalk Series: Addressing LGBTQ+ Disparities in Medical Education
September 30, 2020, @6:30 PM EST
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) population has long faced substantial amounts of marginalization and discrimination at the interpersonal, institutional, community, and policy levels within political, social, and healthcare settings. These disparities have been exacerbated in the context of a historical lag of attention to LGBTQ+ healthcare within medical education. More notably, little research exists on LGBTQ+ content of medical curricula and on medical students’ skills and knowledge relating to care for LGBTQ+ patients.
In this OutTalk series, we will discuss the perspectives of medical students, administrative staff, and hear from the American Medical Association (AMA) and Medical Student Pride Alliance (MSPA) to find concrete solutions for LGBTQ+ disparities. Identifying avenues that can decrease these poor social and healthcare encounters may lead to better health outcomes for a substantial number of LGBTQ+ people.
