Robert G. Badgett, M.D.[1]

Sexual Minorities, also called LGBT persons, are "individuals including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, gender non-conforming people, and other populations whose sexual orientation or gender identity and reproductive development is considered outside cultural, societal, or physiological norms".[1]

The Institute of Medicine has made recommendations for research areas.[2]

The American Association of Medical Colleges has made curricular recommendations and competencies for training of physicians.[3]

Nomenclature

The optimal descriptors of the community have been debated with concerns that MSM and WSW are not adequate terms.[4]

Disparities

Disparities in the quality of health care provide for sexual minorities have been documented.[5][6][7][8]
