Health Care for LGBTQ+ Youth: A Case-Based Workshop for Medical Students and Pediatric Residents

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: Undergraduate medical education and graduate medical education lack formal curricula on providing care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) youth. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to further challenges in delivering engaging, patient-centered education on LGBTQ+ health. Methods: tests and descriptive statistics. Results: Sixty-two learners completed our evaluation, including 19 residents and 43 medical students. After the curriculum, we noted significant improvement in learners' perceived knowledge and comfort in all surveyed competencies; >90% of learners noted the curriculum was well organized and engaging, with the patient-caregiver panel marked as a highlight. Discussion: A multimodal curriculum using case-based, problem-based learning and a patient-caregiver panel can be a promising method of providing interactive and up-to-date education on LGBTQ+ health care. This model can also be used to provide education on other medical education topics that are constantly evolving and lack national standardization.
