Teaching LGBTQ+ Health

Stanford Medicine's Teaching LGBTQ+ Health: A Faculty Development Course for Health Professions Educators helps health educators teach LGBTQ+ clinical topics with confidence. The course is evidence- and practice-based: seven interactive modules—including a glossary, an overview of social and behavioral determinants affecting LGBTQ+ patients, teaching-strategy guidance, and three cases with built-in teaching points—so faculty can fold content into existing curricula. Materials were vetted by medical educators and subject matter experts; authors and actors from the LGBTQ+ community shaped the stories and voices in the modules.

I served as graphic designer and character animator under the creative direction of William Bottini, EdTech.
