Why LGBTQ+ Healthcare Visits Go Wrong

In this episode, we discuss the essential parameters of healthy, equitable healthcare visits for LGBTQ+-identifying patients, and what implications and misunderstandings result from negative interactions between patients and providers. Dr. Lauren Beach, an expert in chronic conditions related to sexual and gender minority health and translational research into improving health equity systems, informs us of their background working in research and nonprofit spaces to uplift marginalized queer populations, in particular bisexual individuals, and improve sex, sexual orientation and gender identity collection practices overall.
