The LGBT Initiatives at Texas Tech Health Sciences-
Texas Tech Health Sciences' Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Global Health sponsors three lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) initiatives on campus. All of our initiatives were co-founded by medical students passionate about creating and fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for the LGBT population. Our LGBT initiatives focus on promoting awareness of health disparities among the LGBT population; providing information and education on how to provide high quality health care to LGBT patients; and training members of our campus community to become supportive allies for LGBT students, LGBT faculty, LGBT residents, and LGBT staff.
