How a provider addresses a patient matters. It signifies respect and it can be a deciding factor for whether a trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse patient feels safe in coming to that provider's office for care. Using preferred pronouns on any intake or patient forms, preferred name, or simply listening openly to the patient to make sure they feel heard and understood can have a profound impact.

This PRIDE month 🌈, we want to address the systemic issues that have hindered the development of comprehensive health information about the LGBTQIA community. Minor adjustments to clinical protocols, informed consent documents, and data collection forms can greatly enhance data analysis and improve our understanding of the healthcare needs of the LGBTQIA community. These changes can make studies more inclusive and welcoming, ensuring that individuals in this community feel comfortable and safe participating. Together, we can make clinical research more inclusive. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZEUqaS4 #PrideMonth #WCG #Pride
Excellent initiative.

Dr Megan Ross and Dr Richard Violette are seeking participants for their study exploring what healthcare team environments look like when LGBTQIA health practitioners can be safe to be, or choose to be, their true, authentic selves. They are interested in hearing about how your own LGBTQIA identity is affirmed in your workplace and if or how this influences patient care provision. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gHr7TYq2

We look forward to this VITALS: Disability Health Equity Panel, “Reimagining Disability as a Strength in Healthcare” not only due to its importance but also because it features one of our faculty, Dr. Julia Knopes, as one of the four panelists! Her expertise promises to add a valuable perspective to an already important topic. With over 20% of Americans living with a disability, there remains a need to address issues within medical school curriculums, hospital resources, clinical accommodations, and treatment protocols. Presently, only 3.1% of practicing physicians have a disability, but physician diversity can positively impact patient care and overall medical practice. #DisabilityInclusion #PhysiciansWithDisabilities #HealthcareEquity #PatientCare #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityRights #HealthcareDisparities
The CWRU Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusive Excellence will host a VITALS discussion panel, titled “Reimagining Disability as a Strength in Healthcare," on Dec. 8.
