Culturally Competent Care for LGBT Patients in Dermatology Clinics

J Drugs Dermatol. 2020 Jul 1;19(7):786-787.

Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients face unique health disparities.1 Routine collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data can optimize patient-provider interactions.2 Gender-neutral bathrooms promote inclusivity for LGBT patients.3 There is limited data on the extent to which dermatology practices make use of such features to deliver culturally competent care to LGBT patients.
