Standardized Patient Encounter to Enhance Care to LGBTQIA+ Patients
Melissa Marty Snyder; K. Michelle Singleton; Laura Marinaro; Kirk J. Armstrong
Athletic Training Education Journal, v19 n3 p150-157 2024
Context: Athletic trainers provide care for a variety of patients with diverse backgrounds, including members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, other diverse sexualities, other gender identities, or other gender expressions (LGBTQIA+) community. Learners who gain experience with patients who identify as LBGTQIA+ should be better prepared clinicians. Objective: The purpose of this paper is to describe a standardized patient (SP) experience for a patient who is gay and concerned about a sexually transmitted infection after a conversation with a previous partner. Background: Patients who identify as LGBTQIA+ report substandard care and have poor health care experiences. Standardized patients are used in athletic training education as a method to teach and assess skills and can be used to improve the care that learners provide to patients who identify as gay. Educational Advantage: Education drives clinical practice, and incorporating SP cases in which learners must provide care for a patient who is gay will help the learners provide better inclusive patient-centered care as a clinician. Conclusions: Faculty may consider using a SP encounter to better prepare learners to provide care for a patient who is gay.
