How to Create an Equitable and Affirming Dental Practice: A Guide for Dentists
Learn how to become an LGBTQ ally and create a nurturing, equitable, and affirming dental space for all patients.
About this course
LGBTQ individuals have always been stigmatized and discriminated against on many fronts, including access to affirming and culturally competent health care. While LGBTQ individuals need access to nonjudgmental, affirming, competent dental services just like everyone else, they often face barriers ranging from outright hostility to a lack of providers who are knowledgeable regarding the unique health needs of the LGBTQ community. This course discusses strategies on how to become an LGBTQ ally and create a nurturing, equitable, and affirming dental space. This self-directed course is equivalent to two (2) credit hours and can be completed using a computer, laptop, or mobile device.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
