Workshop
Description: LGBTQIA diversity typically is not at the forefront when speaking of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) but overlaps with many issues including gender politics, discrimination, inclusivity, safety, racism, and nonconventional forms of expression. By empowering more individuals with awareness and facts, we may build more allies to dismantle misinformation and fear around gender diverse issues in clinical care and policy. This workshop highlights basic language, core definitions, and central issues that need to be understood in order to create safer and more compassionate clinical care for sexual and gender minorities (SGM).
Facilitators will begin the session guiding participants in the construction of a misinformation wall and confusion based on public perception and social media. We will then introduce attendees to the most pertinent health care disparities faced by the SGM community focusing on challenges faced during clinical care. Through video presentations of real-life anecdotes and guided discussions, facilitators will highlight common mistakes in patient care encounters with SGM and will introduce key affirming practices grounded in transgender and gender nonconforming literature. Following this, they will practice these on clinical case scenarios. By the end of the workshop, facilitators will help participants build plans to immediately apply self-reflections from the workshop and transform them into action for targeted gaps in their clinical care and clinical environments.
