RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Our health system set out to improve services to patients from the LGBTQ community as a step towards decreasing disparities in care. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pilot education intervention targeting staff knowledge and skills regarding terminology with regards to gender fluidity and sexual orientation was designed and implemented. RESULTS: 81 staff members participated and we found improvements in knowledge but there remain uncertainties that can be addressed in future training sessions. CONCLUSIONS: LGBTQ staff education in radiology is feasible and effective. Additional education interventions may be necessary to address persistent knowledge gaps. Effects on patient acre are yet unknown.
