hurray the forum is over! I was recently involved in organizing the 2nd ever LGBT Health Forum. A place for health professionals and students to suplement their education in a subject that is grossly lacking from the curriculum of most health professional schools. It took soooo much work to organizde and run the forum, but I am so proud about how smoothly the event ran, and how well recieved our message was. Here's hoping that our 150 participants will take back with them a desire to change the face of healthcare and care for their patients wholistically and without judgement or assumption. I feel like I've actually played a small part in bettering healthcare by helping to educate future providers on the needs and issues of a vulnerable population of patients.
Ok, done giving kudos to myself
Now I actually have to study so I don't kill all of my future patients and thus negate any good I've done this weekend.
