The tragic events of the past year has brought an increased awareness to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As a result, healthcare organizations are hiring Chief Diversity Officers (CDO’s), implementing initiatives, providing educational programs, and using new recruitment strategies to increase diversity in medicine.
Increasing diversity in healthcare organizations benefits both the healthcare provider and the patient populations they serve.
In the spirit of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), we offer our LGBTQ+ Glossary of Terms. Terms to use and terms to avoid when working with this patient population and coworkers. Our world is rapidly changing and it’s important we are sensitive to our colleagues, patients, family, friends and acquaintances. Understanding, sensitivity and compassion goes a long way in both our professional and personal lives. We hope this information is useful and enlightening.
