Several studies conducted by OutCare Health show that health care professionals, including primary care doctors, dementia care specialists, residents, and students across a variety of fields, lack proper LGBTQ+ patient education, training, exposure, and preparedness. This is largely because the health care needs of LGBTQ+ individuals are seldom addressed in medical school curricula in the US. This insufficient knowledge can lead to discrimination from medical personnel and/or subsequent misdiagnosis of patients. In this OutTalk, community leaders and health care professionals talk about the future of medical education and address the need for LGBTQ+ focused curricula for the next generation of providers. Panelists include: Craig W. Johnson (he/him) – Group Manager of Minority Affairs Section, American Medical Association; Fae Nova Kronman, MS (they/them) – Executive Director, Medical Student Pride Alliance; Alison Pittman, PhD, MSN, CPN, RN, CNE (she/her), Clinical Assistant Professor at the Texas A&M College of Nursing; & John Sovec, LMFT (he/him) – Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Author, & OutTalk Moderator.
