Pharmaceutical Education in LGBTQIA+ Health Care: A Scoping Review of Educational Strategies and Barriers
Objective
To map and describe training and educational strategies and identify barriers faced in pharmaceutical education on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and other identities (LGBTQIA+) health care.
Methods
A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and Google Scholar until December 2023. Publications evaluating pharmaceutical education for students or pharmacists on LGBTQIA+ health topics were included. Two authors independently performed the study selection and data extraction.
Results
A total of 26 studies were included, mostly focusing on transgender individuals (n = 14) and conducted in the United States (n = 19) within the last 7 years (n = 23). The majority were cross-sectional (n = 14) and targeted pharmacy students (n = 14). Educational strategies in LGBTQIA+ health care included primarily lectures (n = 7), clinical case-based learning (n = 6), and panels with LGBTQIA+ individuals (n = 4). Advanced strategies like role-play and objective structured clinical examinations were used exclusively with pharmacy students (n = 4). Identified barriers included a lack of curriculum space (n = 11), minimal exposure to LGBTQIA+ patients (n = 6), limited contact with the subject during formal education and training (n = 6), and a shortage of qualified professionals to teach LGBTQIA+ topics (n = 5).
Conclusion
This review highlights the need to integrate LGBTQIA+ health topics into pharmacy curricula and continuing education through active learning strategies to develop advanced competencies. Addressing curriculum space limitations, increasing exposure to LGBTQIA+ patients, and enhancing the availability of qualified educators are essential to ensure pharmacists are well-prepared to provide inclusive and effective care to LGBTQIA+ individuals.
