Medical Students Push For More LGBT Health Training To Address Disparities https://t.co/UdVDdclmUx

[NPR @NPR]

A poll found one in 5 LGBT adults has avoided medical care due to fear of discrimination, while a study found the median time medical students spent on LGBT health was 5 hours. Now, some are pushing for more LGBT-focused content in the curriculum.

Last month we started asking everyone in triage preferred name & pronouns
That info goes in their EMR banner & it is 💯
Didn’t realize how much we needed it until we had it
So grateful for the amazing folks that made it happen

[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

Today on #TDOR2018 and every day we’re asking for an end to transphobia. Seeing transphobic ideas repeated in the press validates the actions of those who would seek to discriminate against or commit acts of violence against trans people in person.

Stop transphobia.
