This article appeared on the Vice News webpage last month. It discusses the University of Louisville School of Medicine’s decision to adopt the nation’s first LGBT pilot program for med schools. The program is called “eQuality” and focuses on teaching students to treat lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender patients. There are certain health problems and issues that are more frequent in the LGBT community, which are discussed in more detail in the article. By increasing med student’s awareness and exposure to these health concerns, they will be able to provide better care to LGBT patients and reduce problems such as misdiagnosis or simply unfamiliarity with LGBT-specific health concerns.
