This course introduces students to public health issues surrounding LGBTQ+ populations. The course is divided into topic areas that will allow students to become familiar with the terminology, history, health disparities, health inequities, special health needs, and barriers for this population in receiving health care and public health services. The course will also touch on the public health implications that result from the care or lack thereof of these populations. This course will cover topics relating to health services research and public health aspects of LGBTQ+ populations rather than clinical medicine topics. Graduate students will be required to complete online modules administered by CITI regarding human subject research, draft a research paper that will be reviewed by a peer prior to submission for final grade, draft a course reflection explaining how the class has affected their thought processes regarding public health, complete online quizzes after the completion of each module, complete a final exam, and create a health pamphlet and presentation.
