The AMA Foundation
LGBTQ+
Health Program
Through convening leaders in health care, the LGBTQ+ community, medical education, community organizations, and other stakeholders, the AMA Foundation will serve as a force to move the needle in LGBTQ+ health equity. Our vision is to ensure all LGBTQ+ individuals receive high-quality, compassionate, and affirming care and have equitable access to the health outcomes they deserve.
“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

The LGBTQ+ Fellowship
The National LGBTQ+ Health Program represents the AMA Foundation’s bold commitment to advancing health equity and transforming care for LGBTQ+ communities. This pioneering initiative strengthens the pipeline of culturally competent physician leaders by supporting advanced clinical training, expanding inclusive medical education, and driving institutional change. By investing in future physicians who are equipped to lead with both clinical excellence and cultural humility, the program is helping to build a health care system that is more inclusive, affirming, and equitable for all.
“I am finishing my fellowship with new skills to lead and inform LGBTQUIA+ health in rural communities.”
