LGBTQ+ Healthcare: Your Guide to Building an Inclusive Practice∗

The LGBTQ+ community is diverse. While L, G, B, T, and Q are usually tied together as a single homogeneous entity, each letter represents a wide range of people of different races, ethnicities, ages, socioeconomic statuses and identities (National LGBT Health Education Centre, 2019). Unfortunately, experiences of stigma and discrimination are a common theme that transcends across the entire LGBTQ+ community. While discrimination exists across the community, the manifestations of oppression and discrimination are not a singular occurrence or experience. One area in which there is a long history of discrimination and lack of awareness is within the health care sector.

TransEd is an online learning platform targeted at providing post-secondary healthcare students with tools to improve comfort and competence in transgender care. TransEd’s unique features include:
- Modular design: Learners can complete any or all of TransEd’s 8 sections (Introduction, The Healthcare Landscape, Clinical Best Practices, Assessment, Psychosocial Health, Medication, Surgical & Resources). Users can pick topics that are most relevant to them while having the convenience of learning at their own pace and in their own environment. Each section includes multiple choice questions to assess learning with explanations to clarify any misunderstandings.
- Lived Experience: Interviews with trans men and women talking about their interactions and experiences with the healthcare system as well as clips from healthcare providers specializing in trans care.
- Best Practices: Comprehensive guidelines and important considerations for providing optimal care to trans patients, from how to create welcoming spaces to understanding transition options.
For educators we’ve also created a Facilitators Guide which offers additional content and videos along with suggestions for blended learning activities. Our goal is to make it easy for you to integrate TransEd into existing curricula incorporating those components that have most benefit for your learners.

Undergraduate Diagnostic Imaging Fundamentals∗

2017
Licence: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Diagnostic Imaging principles and concepts are augmented by the presentation of images for common clinical conditions. Guiding principles related to minimizing radiation exposure and requesting the most appropriate imaging examination are addressed. Static images are enhanced by the ability to access images stored and displayed on an Html-5 compatible, Dicom image viewer that simulates a simple Picture Archive and Communication system (PACS). Users can also access other imaging from the Dicom viewer (ODIN), beyond the basic curriculum provided, to further advance their experience with viewing diagnostic imaging pathologies.
