Abstract:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients experience vast health care disparities. Numerous government and professional organizations have attempted to address these disparities by calling for improvement in LGBT health and increased research endeavors. Despite these initiatives, residents still receive inadequate education and training in LGBT health. Here, the authors review these shortcomings and provide a framework for how to improve resident education and training in LGBT health. They describe methods of curricular enhancements and departmental/institutional climate optimization to improve resident competency. Finally, they discuss how LGBT-competent physicians can publicize their expertise and improve overall LGBT health care delivery.
