Teaching Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in Pediatric Clinical Settings: A Training Workshop for Faculty and Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Health disparities for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, all other genders, sexes, and sexualities (LGBTQIA+) population are striking. Yet, deliberate efforts to integrate sexual orientation and gender identity in pediatric education settings remain lacking. The type of formal training that pediatric educators currently have for teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity is unclear and limited, which led to the development and implementation of this curriculum.

Methods

A 2-hour workshop was developed to address gaps in knowledge, equip faculty and resident educators with skills to apply key concepts in teaching activities, and motivate them to examine challenges and opportunities in teaching sexual orientation and gender
