Medical-Colleges Group Releases Standards for Treating LGBT Patients

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Thomas Lawrence Long

Announced today by the Chronicle of Higher Education:

The Association of American Medical Colleges has released a set of guidelines aimed at helping medical schools better train physicians to treat people who are LGBT, don’t identify with a gender, or are born with differences of sex development. The guidelines, contained in a report, are the first comprehensive set of standards for treating lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender patients, according to a news release from the organization.

    This is great to see. Now we need to pull something similar together for nursing education.
