The Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and all others (LGBTQIA2S+) community comprises a diverse array of people who challenge conventional norms regarding sexual orientation and/or gender identity. This group possesses a distinct set of social and cultural principles that necessitate personalized and all-encompassing medical attention. In light of the increase in the number of individuals openly sharing their LGBTQIA2S+ identity and a growing societal openness toward this community, most healthcare providers do not feel prepared with the requisite knowledge and skills to appropriately care for the needs of this community. We describe the development of an educational intervention, the LGBTQIA2S+ Healthcare Module, to address this significant gap in health professions education. It offers current and future clinicians just-in-time training on the language and cultural context to adequately provide patient-centered care to this community.
女同性恋、男同性恋、跨性别者、酷儿、双性人、无性恋者、双灵人及其他群体（LGBTQIA2S+）包含了各种各样挑战性取向和/或性别认同传统规范的人群。这个群体拥有一套独特的社会和文化准则，需要个性化且全面的医疗照护。鉴于公开表明自己LGBTQIA2S+身份的人数增加以及社会对这个群体的日益包容，大多数医疗服务提供者觉得自己没有为满足这个群体的需求做好准备，缺乏必要的知识和技能。我们描述了一种教育干预措施——LGBTQIA2S+医疗保健模块的开发，以弥补卫生专业教育中的这一重大差距。它为当前和未来的临床医生提供关于语言和文化背景的即时培训，以便为这个群体充分提供以患者为中心的照护。
