Description
The LGBTQ community is a growing and thriving community. As clinicians, everything from our intake forms to our one-on-one conversations can greatly affect those who identify as LGBTQ. It is of huge importance to learn how to become a welcoming, affirming provider. For over five years, instructor Dr. Leslie Nicholas has been teaching medical personnel how to remove barriers and welcome the underserved LGBTQ community into their offices and ultimately into their care.
This course provides a basic road map to understanding the health disparities that exist within the LGBTQ community. Additionally, the topic of intersectionality is defined as to how it relates to this specific population. Dr. Nicholas reviews basic steps you can take to include the LGBTQ into your practice and how we as clinicians can increase our personal and professional knowledge to support those who are part of this community.
Please Note: The audio quality of the 13-minute patient interview is fairly muffled; we apologize for any inconvenience. The audio quality of the 110-minute course content is clear.
Course Content
Instructor
Leslie Nicholas practiced naturopathic medicine for over 25 years, having graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Oregon licensure and full prescribing authority enabled Dr. Nicholas to practice as a primary care physician in various clinical settings, but her favorite position was serving as an assistant professor for NUNM, leading teaching shifts in community clinics throughout Portland. She is most proud of piloting the first Transgender Medicine teaching shift at NUNM’s Main Clinic in 2012 until her departure in 2014.
Additionally, Dr. Nicholas helped the LGBTQ community as a volunteer at Portland’s Outside In TransClinic, and at Mercy and Wisdom Community Clinic.
After moving back to her home state of Michigan in 2016, Leslie enrolled in more intensive training regarding LGBTQ diversity and cultural humility awareness. She began teaching medical students, doctors, nurses, social workers and therapists how to remove barriers and welcome the underserved LGBTQ community into their offices, and ultimately into their care.
Leslie splits her time between her home base in Pontiac, and visiting her partner in Kentucky. Her two dogs, Milo and Fergus, go with her everywhere.
