Discussion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues has fallen short in dental curricula. This article aims to describe the didactic approach used to present issues of sexuality in the D.M.D. curriculum at the University of British Columbia. This descriptive article discusses the main pedagogies employed to present and discuss LGBT issues: lecture-based seminars, guest panel discussion with members of the LGBT community, poster discussion, and student reflections on the topic of sexuality. The approach to sexual diversity presented here does not profess to make an otherwise homophobic student LGBT-friendly, but it exposes all students to alternative views of sexuality, challenges their values and beliefs, and celebrates diversity. The methodology presented has had a positive impact upon students as illustrated by their reflections, but further discussion is needed to better understand the implications of LGBT issues in both academic and professional settings.
讨论女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者（LGBT）问题在牙科课程中一直不足。本文旨在描述不列颠哥伦比亚大学 D.M.D.课程中讲授性问题的教学方法。本文讨论了讲授和讨论 LGBT 问题时采用的主要教学法：基于讲座的研讨会、有 LGBT 社区成员参加的客座小组讨论、海报讨论以及学生对性问题的反思。这里介绍的性多样性方法并不是要让原本恐同的学生对 LGBT 友好，而是让所有学生了解性的其他观点，挑战他们的价值观和信仰，并庆祝多样性。所提出的方法对学生产生了积极的影响，从他们的反思中可以看出这一点，但需要进一步讨论，以更好地了解 LGBT 问题在学术和专业环境中的影响。
