Understanding LGBTQ+ Identities in Healthcare Settings
✨ 1 CE Credit • Self-Paced Learning
The LGBTQ+ community includes patients, families, and colleagues whose sexual orientation includes, but is not limited to, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identities. Understanding these concepts is essential for providing inclusive, respectful healthcare.
What You'll Learn: Distinguish between sexual orientation (who you are or to whom you are attracted) and gender identity (your internal sense of self). Understand important terminology and how to create welcoming healthcare environments for all patients.
Key Focus: Learn appropriate language, including understanding terms like "queer" - reclaimed by many in the community to represent those who identify outside traditional norms for gender or sex. Discover how to use terminology respectfully when provided as part of someone's identity.
