Abstrakt: The past decade has seen significant advancements in care and representation of LGBTQ patients in American health care. These efforts have primarily taken the form of institutional policy changes and medical staff training in cultural competency. Drawing from patient interviews and author expertise, this article discusses the patient experience as the starting point for the development of effective, inclusive policy. Looking to the related field of LGBTQ youth wellness and education, and focusing on an integrative approach to LGBTQ health care within the University of Pennsylvania Health System, this article seeks to reframe the discussion about the care of LGBTQ-identifying patients in dermatologic practices.
