PSCID 0879: LGBTQI Considerations in the Provision of Healthcare

This course develops knowledge and skills to facilitate the provision of inclusive, compassionate and holistic patient centered care to members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI) community. Lecture topics include an introduction to LGBTQI terminology, culture and history, mental health and social service needs, and communication strategies. An emphasis on personal acknowledgement of knowledge/skills deficits may help to prevent health inequities for these populations in the future.
