Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, plus (LGBTQIA2S+) individuals face health disparities due to social stigmas and discrimination in health care settings. National organizations and accreditation bodies have called attention to this concern, making LGBTQIA2S+ health promotion an initiative to improve health outcomes. Unfortunately, delaying and/or avoiding health care still exists within the LGBTQIA2S+ population. Primary factors of this include mistrust of the healthcare system and providers' lack of knowledge regarding culturally competent care. LGBTQIA2S+ cultural care concepts are lacking in health care curriculum and education. Both faculty and healthcare providers report feeling a lack of competence and comfort with LGBTQIA2S+ content. As a result, students are not exposed to LGBTQIA2S+ content, negatively impacting their ability to care for this population.
