Abstract

This commentary describes some of the reported challenges of health participation for the gender- and sexuality-diverse (GSD) population, particularly related to medical imaging practice. The approach and student feedback of an undergraduate education initiative to support students in the delivery of culturally competent care are described. The experiences of delivery over a three-year period are reported, including the 2020 online delivery due to COVID-19 precautions. Student feedback demonstrates positive outcomes from the workshops and activities.

Keywords: Gender- and sexually-diverse population; student feedback; undergraduate medical imaging.
