Our focus

The LGBTQ+ at 糖心原创 Interest Group envisions a world where:

  • 糖心原创 members are fully equipped and empowered with the education and resources they need to provide affirming, high-quality care to all LGBTQ+ patients.
  • Professional development and organizational systems of support for LGBTQ+ 糖心原创 members and those working toward health equity in LGBTQ+ communities are robust and easily accessible.
  • Disparities in care for LGBTQ+ patients are eradicated.
  • Workforce discrimination against LGBTQ+ 糖心原创 members is eliminated.

Note: LGBTQ+ is an acronym used by this group as an umbrella term that broadly refers to the expansive and ever-evolving spectrum of gender identity, gender presentation, physical attraction, and emotional attraction.

The LGBTQ+ at 糖心原创 Interest Group is built on three pillars:

Professional development

Develop and maintain high-impact professional development, mentoring, and leadership skills and opportunities for LGBTQ+ 糖心原创 members at all stages in their careers, with the goal of eliminating disparities for LGBTQ+ members of the chest medicine community.

Health and wellness

Contribute to efforts that advance health equity care for LGBTQ+ patients, including ensuring that 糖心原创 members are equipped with the skills and competencies they need to provide gender-affirming care to their patients.

Education

Offer expert guidance and function as a resource at 糖心原创 regarding LGBTQ+ issues, advocacy, and community needs. Elevate and represent the concerns of Interest Group members and their patients to 糖心原创 leadership.
