Creating a Safe Healthcare Environment for the LGBTQ+ Community

The purpose of this education is to create a safe, nondiscriminatory healthcare environment for the LGBTQ+ persons and address their healthcare needs. Studies have demonstrated that a large proportion of LGBTQ+ persons have had negative interactions with healthcare providers. This activity is directed at common knowledge gaps for healthcare providers.

This educational program is part of a DNP candidate project for Karrie Peterson.  You are not required to participate in the study, more information is available within the program, and there is a link in the program that allows you to opt in or out of participation.

My name is Karrie Peterson, and I am conducting a study as partial fulfillment of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Wilkes University.
