Treating with Equity: LGBTQIA+ Inclusivity in Healthcare (Webinar)
Summary
Doctors, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists, front office staff, and everyone else in the medical field interact with members of the LGBTQIA+ community on a regular basis, yet members of this community are more likely to be refused health care, be blamed for their medical issues due to their identities, and often choose to avoid health care settings due to these issues. This workshop supports providers on how to make health care settings more inclusive, providing training on the language relating to the LGBTQIA+ community, and help medical professionals optimize their workplaces into somewhere welcoming to all those needing health care.
Describe issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community when accessing a variety of healthcare.
Develop a plan for how to make practice more inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community now and in the future.
