LGBTQ in Medicine (LGBTQ)

Mission Statement

LGBTQIA+ in Medicine serves as our campus’ connection to the LGBTQIA+ community in Phoenix. With a focus on LGBTQIA+ health and social issues, we seek to foster a welcoming, supportive environment for our students and offer education about the health issues and difficulties affecting LGBTQIA+ individuals, their families, and communities. We are dedicated to keeping the student body informed about issues surrounding the LGBTQIA+ community by hosting social events, guest speakers, patient panels, and connecting students with LGBTQIA+ events and service opportunities throughout the Valley. LGBTQIA+ in Medicine is open to all students interested in learning more about the LGBTQIA+ community and does not exclude participation of any individual based on race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
