LGBTQ+ Patient Care
Marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ+ population, are often more susceptible to health disparities, putting them at higher risk for disease and death.
Family physicians are increasingly called upon to provide compassionate and individualized care to this diverse community.

Topics include:
- General and preventive care

- Health inequalities for LGBTQ+ youth (including patient engagement)
- Trauma-informed care
- HIV prevention utilizing telemedicine
