Inclusive Health Conference 2017

Description
We are pleased to host the fourth annual Inclusive Health: An LGBTQ Healthcare Primer. This conference was founded in 2014 in response to the insufficient training medical students receive on LGBTQ health topics, and the growing need for such training.
This year is bound to be an informative and engaging time. Dr. Marci Bowers, our keynote speaker, will be presenting on "Gender Identity and Surgical Care for the Trans/Gender Variant Population." Various other healthcare professionals and patients will be presenting throughout the day. The full schedule can be found at https://inclusivehealthconference.com/program/

Organizer Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advocacy Initiative (SGA)
Organizer of Inclusive Health Conference 2017
The Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advocacy Initiative (SGA) is a student initiative within the Medical Students’ Association.
Our goals are to:
• Facilitate discussion on the unique health issues faced by sexual minority and gender variant individuals, by working with the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry (FoMD) on curriculum and by organizing an annual conference for healthcare professionals.
• Provide support for FoMD students who may be struggling with issues related to their own sexual orientation or gender identity.
• Foster an environment among FoMD students, staff, and faculty that is free of discrimination, and act as a liaison organization between FoMD students and a number of key groups.
