Health Equity (HE): LGBTQ+ Online Course May 9th 2023

Ideal for: Public Health Professionals, Social Workers

Eliminating health disparities and improving health among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) individuals is imperative to achieving health equity. This introductory online course is about understanding the issues - we will examine ourselves and work to better understand the experience of those in the LGBTQ community.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We use a flipped-classroom approach, so you’ll work through course content independently and then connect with a small cohort of peers weekly for live learning sessions that provide an opportunity to ask questions, share your knowledge, and learn from others.

THIS COURSE WILL TAKE 7 WEEKS TO COMPLETE

• Online course materials
• 7 live sessions (Please put these sessions on your calendar)
  

COURSE SCHEDULE – Tuesdays, 9:00 am - 10:00 am MST
