Academic Medicine Open Forum

In recognition of Pride Month, we’re sharing a few AAMC resources that support the health of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), gender nonconforming (GNC), and/or born with differences of sex development (DSD).

• Sexual & Gender Minority Health Resources website contains videos, webinars, publications, as well as a clinical vignette series for educational settings. 
• AAMCNews commentary: “Keeping our promise to LGBTQ+ patients”
• AAMCNews commentary: “Finding my community on #GayMedTwitter”
• Academic Medicine, June 2021: “Meeting the Patient Care, Education, and Research Missions: Academic Medical Centers Must Comprehensively Address Sexual and Gender Minority Health” (subscription required)
