Join us for our 2nd annual Southern California LGBT Health Conference at the UC Irvine School of Medicine in Irvine, CA. Here, you will take part in the dynamic conversations on healthcare’s hottest issues, learn from health care leaders in the community, and engage in interactive workshops that will prepare you for the future of LGBT inclusive health care.
This year’s theme is "Intersections in Queer Health: Never a Single Story".
Our goal is to stimulate thought and learning around various topics relating to LGBTQ health and wellness in the context of individual lives and stories. Through the conference, we hope that attendees will learn about health disparities and culturally competent care provision for LGBTQ patients while also coming to understand how sexual orientation and gender identity intersect with cultural, psychosocial, and socioeconomic factors in the realm of health. We hope that participants will learn how to cross these interdisciplinary intersections when providing excellent LGBTQ-sensitive care.

About this year's theme:
This year’s theme was suggested by Tiffany Hsu, a UCLA senior majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Global Studies. Tiffany is an intern at the LA County Dept of Public Health, Tuberculosis Control Program where she works to connect permanent residency applicants to quality healthcare, education, and preventative therapy. She also serves as a board member for the non-profit, the Uganda Development Initiative, working on expanding a rural village health centre into a hospital. Upon graduation, Tiffany aims to continue her work to mitigate the health education and healthcare disparities among traditionally marginalized minority communities.
