Guiding principles and values
Affirming people of all gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
Using inclusive language for LGBTQIA+ people, including asking for and using a person’s name, pronouns, and parental/familial names and roles.
Actively continuing my own education in order to provide the highest quality care.
Creating an affirming space for patients to share their sexual orientation and gender identity if they choose, and asking patient permission before documenting this information in their medical records.
Avoiding assumptions about sexual orientation, sexual behavior, gender identity, and gender expression.
