The Wayne State University School of Medicine Office of Faculty Affairs welcomes all members of our community to join us for a Special Interactive Discussion:"Bringing Sexy Back: Why Gender Identity and Sexuality Are Essential in Routine Primary Care"When: December 10, 2020 Time: 12:30 - 1:30 p.m. Speakers: Forrest Hosea (pronouns: they/them/their) - Research Assistant for the Office of Cancer Health Equity & Community Engagement Truman Hudson, Jr., Ed.D. (pronouns: he/him/his) - Lecturer & Outreach Specialist for the College of Education Knoll Larkin, M.P.H. (pronouns: he/him/his) - Director at the Office of Cancer Health Equity & Community Engagement Hayley Thompson, Ph.D. (pronouns: she/her/hers) - Professor of Oncology at Wayne State University School of Medicine & Director of Community Outreach & Engagement at Karmanos Cancer Institute This webinar is the first of a two-part series focusing on the importance of incorporating discussions around gender identity, gender expression and sexuality into primary care visits, specifically LGBTQ identity and sex positivity. The LBGTQ population is disproportionately affected by health disparities due to social stigma, discrimination and continued denial of their civil human rights. These disparities are exacerbated by avoiding or postponing seeing doctors due to fear of discrimination. Including open and honest discussion of patient sexuality creates a more inviting environment for LGBTQ patients and makes healthcare more accessible to this population. This first webinar will focus on LGBTQ health disparities and ways to ensure a safe, affirming patient-centered environment. Goals
