Patient voices and student insights into LGBTQ+ healthcare: a call for equitable healthcare through medical education
LGBTQ+ patients provided powerful narratives on discrimination surrounding their healthcare needs. To address these, medical students must be encouraged by healthcare educators to develop identity-affirming behaviours as future change-makers and challenge cis-heteronormative views. Alongside vital institutional changes tailored to each country, patients' and students' collective action would create meaningful educational opportunities to reach culture change.
