Determining the Attitudes of Medicine Faculty Instructors Toward LGBT Individuals.

Introduction: It has been shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) patients are not able to receive the health care they need due to in part homophobia among health care providers. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes toward LGBT people by medical school faculty members, the educators of the health care providers.

Methods: The study was designed as cross-sectional, using the Hudson-Ricketts homophobia scale and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers and conducted in two different medical schools.
