Med schools teaching courses on LGBT patient care

[William769]

PHILADELPHIA — Take five or 10 minutes, the professor said, and write down things that you love, like, need or enjoy.

Now pair up with someone you don’t know and spend 20 minutes introducing yourself. Talk about whatever you want. But don’t mention anything that you wrote down.

Try going on for a half-hour without a word about the most important things in life. Imagine a full day.

“It might be difficult,” said instructor Robin Brennan. “That’s what this course is about. That is just a glimpse of what it is like for somebody who is LGBT” — lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
