"Great information on a topic often not covered."

Anna S - Plainfield, Illinois

"Knowing your audience is key to a good presentation. I struggle to see how this was beneficial to a PHYSICIAN, as it is often imperative to know your patient’s sex, which poses a challenge with this topic and was not at all addressed. "

Lynn C - Des Plaines, Illinois

"This in no way addressed the specific issues of being a doctor with patients who identify as LGBTQ+. It was all about definitions (some of which were dubious i.e. sex being a cultural thing on the second slide) and did not look at what specific challenges a doctor will face. "

Bradley B - Chicago, Illinois

"Thank you for a doing a presentation on a subject as important as this!!"

Andrew D - East Alton, Illinois

"whether people like it or not, sexual identity is an increasingly important part of healthcare."
