Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) people frequently report negative health care encounters and medical professionals may inadequately manage LGBTQ+ persons’ health if they have not received training in this area. Addressing gender identity and sexuality issues within medical curricula may remove barriers to accessing health care and improve encounters for LGBTQ patients. In order to build a future together we must incorporate all of our students -their voices and their identities. We must embrace all of our colleagues -their voices and their lived experiences. To create a vibrant, relevant medical science curriculum, we must gather everyone so that we can move forward together. Learning to include LGBTQIA+ students and educators is an important part of this process.
