Hospice & Palliative Care

Speaker: Sean O’Mahony, MB BCh BAO, MS, FAAHPM
Section Director Palliative Medicine, Rush University Medical Center
Professor of Medicine, Rush Medical College
Co-Director, Coleman Palliative Medicine Training Program

Purpose: LGBTQ people experience disparate treatment in many different settings, this extends to healthcare. Although LGBTQ people have seen advances in legal protections in the last 2 decades there has been a recent backlash with enactment of legislation that is hostile to LGBTQ people across the country. We will address the research evidence base on disparate experiences for LGBTQ people in the healthcare systems. We will address ways that individual clinicians can enhance the care of LGBTQ people and ways that health care systems can provide access to care that is inclusive towards LGBTQ people and their families of choice.

Objectives:  

1. Review the evidence base for disparate experience of the healthcare system for LGBTQ patients
2. Explain best and promising practices in healthcare for LGBTQ patients
