About the Series
Quality Healthcare for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender People is an education program open to anyone interested in learning about the healthcare needs of LGBT people. This cultural competence four-part series will explore the health concerns and healthcare of LGBT people. We will review the social determinants that influence how LGBT people seek and receive care and the impact those influences have on health. We will virtually follow the experience of LGBT people and those of us who care for them to better understand how we can create healthcare environments that are welcoming and can help minimise the existing disparities experienced by this population. We will delve into the clinical concerns specific to LGBT persons- both in terms of physical health and mental health- so we can better understand how to create comprehensive systems of care that support positive outcomes and experiences for LGBT people and result in high-quality healthcare.
This webinar series is a project of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA) (http://www.glma.org) in collaboration with the Hopkins Centre for Health Disparities Solutions, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (http://www.hopkinshealthdisparities.org).
