ForwardConversations in Ethics – The Ethics of Clinical Care for Patients with Diverse Gender and Orientation Experiences
Research reveals health disparities when comparing heterosexual with gay, lesbian and bisexual youths and adults, as well as transgender and non-transgender populations. Gay and bisexual patients are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, sexually transmitted diseases, obesity, and substance use. Even more dramatic health disparities, including higher incidence of suicidal ideation and feeling rejected by healthcare providers, are found among patients who identify as intersex, transgender, or gender non-binary. What can each medical professional do to help reduce these disparities and provide more-affirming patient care, interpersonally and in the larger health system environment? How can medical professionals navigate ethical dilemmas that can arise when serving these patients? Please join us to learn from our panel of experts on this topic.
