Professionalism Education through Narratives of LGBTQ people / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

All medical providers need to learn about diverse sexual orientations, gender identity, and LGBTQ people. However, no guidelines for education exist in Japan, and it may be challenging to actually provide educational opportunities. This paper reports on education using the narratives of LGBTQ persons from the perspective of professionalism education. Although the author is a member of the LGBTQ community and sometimes uses the narratives of my experience in lectures, this method cannot be generalized. Therefore, this paper reports on a learning practice using narratives and dialogues of LGBTQ persons from an LGBTQ healthcare learning course for physicians developed and implemented by Nijiiro Doctors.
