“I want to break free”: Integrating LGBTQ health competencies throughout the medical education continuum
Although evolving, medical schools have traditionally been slow to embrace social change in the curriculum.1 Take, as an extreme example, a 2019 Wall Street Journal essay published by the former Dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Dr. Stanley Goldfarb entitled, “Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns.”2 In the essay, Goldfarb lambasts the “inculcation of social policy” in modern medical education and argues that these ideas have no place in a profession aimed at maximizing the “quality and effectiveness of health care”.
