Environment for LGBTQ+ Participants
Friday, March 4th, 2022
The mission of the Stanford Center for Clinical Research (SCCR) includes offering educational resources, training, and support for investigators and research staff. We have invited the Assistant Professor of Medicine, Dr. Mitchell Lunn, MD, to provide you with an overview the demographics
as well as social and health experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual/gender minority people. You will learn techniques to create welcoming and affirming LGBTQ+ participant-centered clinical research environments.
At the conclusion of this class, you will be able to:
- Integrate current LGBTQ+ terminology into patient conversations
- Appreciate the importance of pronoun use in patient conversations
- Ask correct questions about sexual orientation and gender identity with sensitivity
- Create an affirming LGBTQ+ patient-centered practice with staff training, forms, and environmental changes, including symbols & signage
