Nurse Educ. 2015 Jan-Feb;40(1):46-50. doi: 10.1097/NNE.0000000000000092.

Abstract

Nurse educators need to develop innovative, technological curricula that foster intercultural competencies as essential components of a university education and break the silence with respect to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) health. Goals are to foster using these competencies to make LGBTQ content explicit in nursing curricula and in their professional organizations to promote equality and lessen disparities in this group.
