What this is about

[edit]

The intersection of sexual orientation and

  • LGB-specific Health
  • diseases for which sexual orientation is a risk factor
  • sexual orientation as a factor contributing to health disparities (underserved community)
  • physicians who identify as LGB
  • physicians whose practice is primarily within LGB community
  • medical associations the membership of which sexual orientation is a major factor
  • medical associations that have a policy regarding sexual orientation
  • therapies & medical treatments which are meant to address sexual orientation
  • history of medicine with regards to sexual orientation
    • HIV/AIDS
    • discrimination based on sexual orientation within medical community
    • discrimination based on sexual orientation at medical schools
    • changes in curriculum related to LGB at medical schools / teaching LGB specific care

That's roughly what I'm thinking this is about . . . now what should it be called? OsteopathicFreak 22:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
