Needs Statement

In 2022, Clinical Standards and Variation Reduction under the leadership of Physician Enterprise performed a needs assessment in the form of a clinician-facing survey on perceptions, confidence, and self-identified clinical knowledge gaps across primary care physicians and APPs in California.

Of the 31 responses received, it is evident that while primary care physicians and APPs have the desire to care for patients from the LGBTQ+ community, there is a significant self-perceived knowledge gap and the clinicians are motivated to participate in further training.

This training will help to improve access to evidence-based care for patients identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community. In particular, provide continued medical education accredited training for a chosen cohort of primary care physicians and APPs for an in-depth review on the care of patients who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community.
