Last Updated: July 31, 2020

Description

A short lecture on sexual and gender minority (SGM) health disparities, intersectionality, minority stress, and shared decision making (SDM) to establish a shared language among a   cohort of students. Learners also view four videos of SGM patients of color (POC) describing their health care experiences, each followed by moderated discussion about how compounded minority stress affects lived experiences and health and how to improve SDM for SGM POC.
