Abstract

Mazzoni’s goal is comprehensive LGBT care

The interns learned the value of comprehensive care through observing roles of the nurses, transgender intake counselor, case managers, and physicians. Mazzoni’s multi-disciplinary model allows patients’ various needs to be met directly.

The interns also learned the importance of LGBT care through discussions about use of unisex bathrooms, preferred pronouns, and inclusive language. This is demonstrated by Mazzoni’s new patient forms.
