Description:
There is ample evidence that sexual and gender minorities face discrimination in the healthcare setting. Providing high-quality health care for older adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or born with differences of sex development requires active steps by health professionals to create an environment that is understanding of the unique needs of these populations and free from bias. Participants in this webinar will gain a broad understanding of the medical aspects of aging for these populations and healthcare strategies to improve their treatment.
