Description
This package includes access to the following CME modules:
- Intersectionality & Deep Histories (Module 1 - video also available by clicking "View Enduring Material" below)
- Degendering OBGYN Practices (Module 2)
- Aging and Older LGBTQ+ Disparities and Best Practices (Module 4)
- Affordable Care Act and Inclusive Healthcare (Module 8)
Since providers come from a myriad of backgrounds and serve a variety of LGBTQ+ populations, the Transformative LGBTQ+ Healthcare Considerations CME package combines four distinct educational units from the LGBTQ+ Healthcare series into one package to address nuanced medical considerations with humility and compassion.
Specifically, learners will begin with Module 1, where Dr. Shannon Winnubst (they/she) provides a humanistic analysis of healthcare experiences of LGBTQIA+ patients throughout modern medical history. Next, Dr. Kara Malone (she/her) unpacks the importance of degendering obstetrics and gynecological practices by confronting barriers to inclusivity in reproductive healthcare. Next, learners will consider myths and evidence-based best practices for ageing and older LGBTQ+ adults from Cecelia Hardecker (credentials). Lastly, Dr. Rhea DeBussy guides learners through the specific implications and impacts the Affordable Care Act, and its potential dismantling, has on healthcare coverage for LGBTQ+ clients.
