Sexual and gender minority content in undergraduate medical education in the United States and Canada: current state and changes since 2011.

Purpose: To characterize current lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI +) health-related undergraduate medical education (UME) curricular content and associated changes since a 2011 study and to determine the frequency and extent of institutional instruction in 17 LGBTQI + health-related topics, strategies for increasing LGBTQI + health-related content, and faculty development opportunities.

Method: Deans of medical education (or equivalent) at 214 allopathic or osteopathic medical schools in Canada and the United States were invited to complete a 36-question, Web-based questionnaire between June 2021 and September 2022. The main outcome measured was reported hours of LGBTQI + health-related curricular content.

What Patients Want in a Transgender Center: Building a Patient-Centered Program.

Gender affirmation is standard medical care, and community input is an essential component of patient-centered care. This study shares how our organization assessed patients' perceptions of health care organizations that provide gender-affirming care. Building on qualitative interview data, we distributed an online survey via a lesbian-gaybisexual-transgender-queer research firm.

Hospitalizations and transgender patients in the United States.

It is known that transgender people experience health inequalities. Disparities in hospital outcomes impacting transgender individuals have been inadequately explored. We conducted this retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample (01/2018-12/2019) to compare in-hospital mortality and utilization variables between cisgender and transgender individuals using regression analyses.

Building an Academic Transgender Medicine Center of Excellence: The 5-Year Johns Hopkins Experience.

Gender-affirming care for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals is a multidisciplinary endeavor that requires organized efforts of many specialized practitioners. TGD individuals experience many health care barriers, including the scarcity of multidisciplinary teams formed to coordinate and deliver complex care in an efficient and affirming way. The Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender Health was founded in 2017 with the mission of decreasing health disparities and improving the health of the TGD community.

Effect of Outpatient Note Templates on Note Quality: NOTE (Notation Optimization through Template Engineering) Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: This is the first randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of note template design on note quality using a simulated patient encounter and a validated assessment tool.

Objective: To compare note quality between two different templates using a novel randomized clinical simulation process.

Design: A randomized non-blinded controlled trial of a standard note template versus redesigned template.

Assessment of Internal Medicine Resident Preparedness to Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning Patients.

Background: Recognizing the unique health needs of sexual and gender minorities (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning individuals) is critical to providing competent and comprehensive healthcare.

The Electronic Health Record and the Clinical Examination.

This review examines how the adoption of the electronic health record (EHR) has changed the most fundamental unit of medicine: the clinical examination. The impact of the EHR on the clinical history, physical examination, documentation, and the doctor-patient relationship is described. The EHR now has a dominant role in clinical care and will be a central factor in clinical work of the future.
