摘要

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to assess medical students' ability to care for lesbian,gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients and to identify potential deficiencies in medical schoolcurricula pertaining to this care. METHODS: Between March 1 and April 15, 2004, third- and fourth-yearmedical students at a metropolitan medical school were sent an e-mail requesting participation in aconfidential on-line survey of 64 quantitative questions designed to assess their ability to care for LGBTpatients. RESULTS: A total of 248 of 320 (77.5%) students responded. Medical students with greater clinicalexposure to LGBT patients reported more frequent sexual history taking with LGBT patients, had morepositive attitude scores, and possessed higher knowledge scores than students with little or no clinicalexposure. Overall, on the 13-item attitude survey, the mean was 4.15 (5=most positive, SD=.55, range1.86–5.00), indicating a desire and willingness to provide health care to LGBT patients. The mean scoreon the 14-item knowledge test was 60% (SD=.12) correct. CONCLUSIONS: Medical students with increasedclinical exposure to LGBT patients tended to perform more comprehensive histories, hold more positiveattitudes toward LGBT patients, and possess greater knowledge of LGBT health care concerns thanstudents with little or no clinical exposure.
