This systematic review evaluated 36 educational interventions for medical students and residents aimed at improving knowledge, attitudes, comfort, confidence, and skills in caring for sexual and gender minority patients. All included studies used quasi-experimental designs and reported efficacious results, but no study assessed the impact of training on patient outcomes.
The review assessed educational interventions targeting medical students and residents to improve knowledge, comfort, attitudes, confidence, and skills in caring for sexual and gender minority patients. Multiple pedagogical approaches combined were found to be more effective, and clerkship rotations or mock practice were associated with improvements in comfort, confidence, and skills. Training durations ranged from 1 to 11 hours. A key limitation across all included studies is the absence of randomized or longitudinal experimental designs, and no study assessed the impact of training on patient outcomes.
