abstract
- The training of a generation of healthcare professionals sensitive to the needs of the LGBTQ+ population is urgent. In Mexico, five million people identify as part of the LGBTQ+ population. Despite legal changes and the mandatory compliance that healthcare professionals must adhere to with protocols, the treatment of LGBTQ+ patients remains discriminatory. Efforts towards inclusion have been driven by governments through guidelines tailored to the contexts in which they are published, student demands through groups, and universities providing information on their official websites. However, these are only the first steps toward being able to provide informed and quality care to the LGBTQ+ population. © 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
