Abstract

An estimated 4.5% of the US population identifies as LGBTQ+, and significant health disparities exist due to discrimination. Despite high prevalence, there is limited training in medical schools in LGBTQ+ healthcare. To address this educational gap, a curriculum, which was previously piloted with volunteer students (N=29), was integrated into the second year clinical skills course in order to increase knowledge of LGBTQ+ health issues and improve comfort with taking an inclusive sexual history. This study examines the impact of the now mandatory curriculum on the students’ knowledge, attitude, and perspective regarding the LGBTQ+ population.
