NURS 453 - Interprofessional Perspectives in LGBTQ+ Health (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: None
LGBTQ+ health is a growing field of interest for a wide variety of health providers and related disciplines, but there is a dearth of knowledge and research in related subjects. LGBTQ+ persons are at risk for health disparities in access, care, and outcomes in such areas as substance use, cancer, infectious diseases, mental illness, and violence. This interprofessional course will examine theories, knowledge, and research around LGBTQ+ health, with an emphasis on intersectionality of identities such as race, ethnicity, class, ability, and other factors. The interprofessional health care of LGBTQ+ patients, clients, and families will be addressed in depth.
