How well do doctors know their patients? Is the future generation of doctors prepared for real-world patient encounters? Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ+) patients are disproportionately affected by a wide range of health issues, and many of these patients face barriers and stigma when accessing healthcare. Our research aimed to explore the awareness current medical students hold toward some of the health disparities faced by LGBTQ+ patients. Second-year medical students at our institution filled out a survey following their standardized patient exams to examine how prepared they felt to diagnose and treat a patient self-identifying as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
医生对他们的患者了解多少?未来一代的医生是否为现实世界中的患者诊疗做好了准备?女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者、酷儿及其他(LGBTQ+)患者受到广泛健康问题的影响尤为严重,并且这些患者中的许多人在获得医疗保健时面临障碍和耻辱。我们的研究旨在探讨当前医学生对LGBTQ+患者所面临的一些健康差异的认知。我们机构的二年级医学生在标准化患者检查后填写了一份调查问卷,以检查他们对诊断和治疗自我认定为LGBTQ+社区成员的患者有多大的准备感。
