Statement of Need

Across the care spectrum, gender is closely tied to health care, with labels like Women's Health Clinic, Women's Breast Center, Women's Cancer, Men's Cancer, and so on. Sexual and gender minority patients are disproportionately burdened with cancer compared to their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts. These individuals have both similar and unique health care needs related to health-promoting screenings for breast and cervical cancers, yet these patients are faced with significant inequities that may result in either delays in care or a lack of appropriate and sensitive care. Health care professionals (HCPs) have an opportunity to improve care for sexual and gender minority patients through education that increases their medical and cultural knowledge, shifts behaviors and practices, and leads to improved competency of care. A critically important aspect of this shift is addressing the common existing heterosexual and cisgender presumptive care models for patients receiving health-promoting breast and cervical cancer screenings.

This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand activity will focus on the disparities and unique health care needs of sexual and gender minority people as it aims to raise HCP awareness of the damaging impact of heterosexual or cisgender presumptive clinical environments, language, and interactions, and showcase processes that create an inclusive, culturally relevant, and trusting environment.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Assess disparities and unique health care needs of sexual and gender minority people related to cancer screening.
• Recognize the impact that a heterosexual or cisgender presumptive care setting has on health-promoting cancer screenings of sexual and gender minority people.
• Integrate processes with HCPs and staff that create an inclusive, culturally relevant, and trusting environment for patients conducive to discussions and receipt of anatomical-based preventive cancer care.
