Abstract

Aim/objective

To explore and summarise existing literature concerning strategies for increasing LGBTQIA+ cultural and clinical competency in healthcare education programs.

Background

Cultural and systemic changes in countries are needed to address the pervasive health disparities facing the LGBTQIA+ population. Understanding current global LGBTQIA+ content in education programs is pivotal for informing future curriculum development and producing culturally competent clinicians who can then undertake the creation clinical competency standards.

Design

A scoping review.

Methods

CINAHL, Ovid, Clinical key, Medline and PubMed were searched between October 2023 and August 2024. The review followed the JBI critical appraisal tools and methodological approach to scoping reviews.

Results

Twenty-five papers met eligibility criteria. Four themes emerged: (i) Significant Gains in Knowledge and Cultural Competency through LGBTQIA+ Training, (ii) Identified Gaps and the Need for Standardisation in LGBTQIA+ Healthcare Education (iii) The Role of Faculty Development and Community Engagement in Effective LGBTQIA+ Curriculum Integration and (iv) Addressing Intersecting Identities and Health Disparities for LGBTQIA+ Populations.

Conclusion

The presence of gaps in training, particularly concerning gender identity and intersectionality, highlights the need for standardised curricula and faculty development.
