Abstract
LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual), and gender-nonconforming (GNC) individuals have limited access to quality care, leading to health disparities. Lack of training and implicit bias are significant contributors to discrimination. Nursing schools must provide opportunities for student interaction with vulnerable populations, and interacting with transgender and GNC individuals during clinical experiences may be challenging. Simulated experiences offer opportunities for students to develop clinical competencies. Students participated in a simulation on caring for transgender and GNC populations. Students participated in a prebriefing session, viewed a simulation video, and engaged in a debriefing session. Participants completed a pre- and postsurvey to assess their knowledge and perceived confidence. Students' confidence in providing gender affirming care was improved by the activity. Students prioritize providing competent care to vulnerable populations. In-class simulation is an effective method for improving students' clinical competencies in a safe, nonjudgmental setting.
