The LGBTIQ Health Interest Group is a student group that welcomes members of the LGBTIQ community, allies, and any students interested in learning more about health issues facing the LGBTIQ community. Throughout the year, we’ll host lunch talks, organize advocacy opportunities for LGBTIQ health on campus and beyond, and be part of a network with similar groups at other UMB graduate schools.
Our most recent efforts involve advocating for University-wide policy changes and additions to the medical school curriculum to emphasize the critical needs of this unique population and enhance LGBTIQ health education for future physicians.
If you wish to be informed in the future about our events, whether social or informational, or wish to be involved in our advocacy efforts please send an email to UMSOM.lgbtq@gmail.com and we would be glad to include you in our email list. Any questions, comments, or concerns may also be addressed to the above email address. If you would prefer to anonymously contact the group, we ask that you please email Dawn Roberts in the Office of Student Affairs (droberts@som.umaryland.edu). We hope to see you at one of our events very soon!
