很少有人知道女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋和变性（LGBT）医生在工作场所的经验。医学院几乎没有关于LGBT问题的正规教育，一些异性恋医生对照顾LGBT患者或与LGBT同事合作持消极态度，为排他性和不受欢迎的工作场所奠定了基础。目前的研究使用了一项在线调查来评估来自国家LGBT医疗保健组织数据库的427名LGBT医生的便利样本，以及从数据库成员中生成的雪球样本。尽管自早期报告以来，歧视行为的发生率有所下降，但10%的人报告说，他们被异性恋同事拒绝转介，15%的人被同事骚扰，22%的人被社会排斥，65%的人听到过对LGBT个人的贬损评论，34%的人目睹过对LGBT患者的歧视性护理，36%的人目睹过对LGBT患者伴侣的不尊重，27%的人目睹了LGBT同事的歧视性待遇。很少有人在医学院或住院医生那里接受过关于男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者问题的正规教育。医学院和医疗保健工作场所似乎继续忽视LGBT问题，并经常以歧视的方式运作。
Little is known about the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) physicians in the workplace. There is little formal education in medical school about LGBT issues, and some heterosexual physicians have negative attitudes about caring for LGBT patients or working with LGBT coworkers, setting the stage for an exclusive and unwelcoming workplace. The current study used an online survey to assess a convenience sample of 427 LGBT physicians from a database of a national LGBT healthcare organization, as well as a snowball sample generated from the members of the database. Although rates of discriminatory behaviors had decreased since earlier reports, 10% reported that they were denied referrals from heterosexual colleagues, 15% had been harassed by a colleague, 22% had been socially ostracized, 65% had heard derogatory comments about LGBT individuals, 34% had witnessed discriminatory care of an LGBT patient, 36% had witnessed disrespect toward an LGBT patient's partner, and 27% had witnessed discriminatory treatment of an LGBT coworker. Few had received any formal education on LGBT issues in medical school or residency. It appears that medical schools and health care workplaces continue to ignore LGBT issues and operate in discriminatory fashion far too often.
