Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ+) patients face health disparities attributable to systemic discrimination, provider knowledge deficit and unconscious bias. The lack of LGBTQ+ content in health professions education is a barrier to the provision of compassionate patient-centered care, which can be addressed through curricular integration.
