Sexual Minorities, also called LGBT persons, are "individuals including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, gender non-conforming people, and other populations whose sexual orientation or gender identity and reproductive development is considered outside cultural, societal, or physiological norms".[1]
The Institute of Medicine has made recommendations for research areas.[2]
The American Association of Medical Colleges has made curricular recommendations and competencies for training of physicians.[3]
Nomenclature
The optimal descriptors of the community have been debated with concerns that MSM and WSW are not adequate terms.[4]
Disparities
Disparities in the quality of health care provide for sexual minorities have been documented.[5][6][7][8]
