  • Avoiding assumptions about sexual orientation, sexual behavior, gender identity, and gender expression.

  • 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 patients permission before documenting this information in their medical records.
