Initially accepted for presentation at the 2020 Annual Meeting
Faculty, preceptors, and administrators in pharmacy programs can benefit from special development in the area of connecting with students and peers in a post heteronormative and cis-gendered academic world. Herein, we present authentic case scenarios highlighting social and human resource elements with a focus on the complexities surrounding the LGBTQ+ acronym. We also discuss ways to use inclusive language, and strategies to improve the academic experience for students and faculty who identify as LGBTQ+ and those who support them.
Objectives
- Define LGBTQ+ and commonly associated terms.
- Develop strategies for using inclusive language across all academic endeavors.
- Learn to recognize organizational dynamics that may be detrimental for pharmacy programs and their LGBTQ+ communities.
- Establish opportunities to be a champion for LGBTQ+ within your institution and your external stakeholders (e.g. patients, preceptors).
