So not surprised!!
Most major medical schools in the U.S. and Canada spend about five hours total over the course of four years reviewing issues related to LGBT health care, according to a new study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association.
A study of medical schools schools shows that between three and eight hours are spent on the topic during an entire four-year medical school curriculum. Of the 132 respondents who filled out the entire survey, nine reported that LGBT health issues were not at all addressed during the preclinical years, and 44 schools reported that LGBT issues went unaddressed during clinical years. Only 32% of the responding medical school deans said their LGBT health education could be rated as "very good," while 44% said the content was "fair" and 34% said the content was "very poor." Still, 97% of deans said students are taught to ask patients if they have sex with men, women, or both when evaluating the patient's sexual history.
