The AMA Foundation

LGBTQ+

Health Program

By convening leaders in health care, the LGBTQ+ community, medical education, community organizations, and other stakeholders, the AMA Foundation works to address persistent gaps in care affecting LGBTQ+ individuals. Our vision is to ensure all LGBTQ+ people receive high-quality, compassionate, and affirming care.

“Now more than ever, we need to equip the next generation of physician leaders in LGBTQIA+ health with the skills to provide comprehensive and affirming care for all LGBTQIA+ populations, across the lifecycle, with a focus on serving marginalized LGBTQIA+ communities.”

- Jennifer Potter, MD, professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School; director of the LGBTQIA+ Population Health Program and co-chair at The Fenway Institute
