    Description:

    Engaged leadership is a cornerstone of addressing diversity and inclusion because of their ability to view organizations from a macroscopic perspective and initiate and implement change. Leaders have the ability to hard-wire LGBT diversity and inclusion into education, patient care, faculty affairs, policies, and performance metrics.

    • Providing a clinically-relevant overview of LGBT health disparities and their cost to healthcare.
