2022 Wisconsin LGBTQ+ Health Summit
2022-04-14 08:15 - 16:30 (America/Chicago) | Webinar/Web Conference
THE SUMMIT IS FREE FOR STUDENTS.
JOIN US AT THE VIRTUAL WISCONSIN LGBTQ+ HEALTH SUMMIT

We invite health care practitioners, faculty, students, and members of the wider LGBTQ+ community to attend this unique conference. Connect and network with thought leaders and each other as we explore how to build an inclusive and just culture of health.
This LIVE summit strives to educate and engage the health professions about LGBTQ+ health and create new pathways to serve LGBTQ+ communities. You will find community and support here, as well as the latest best practices for improving LGBTQ+ health outcomes. We promise this experience will inspire you!

PRACTICE GAP AND NEEDS
One goal of Healthy People 2020 is to “Improve the health, safety, and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals.” To accomplish this, it is critical that the entire healthcare team become more knowledgeable in providing care to members of LGBTQ+ community to improve patient outcomes.
Many health professionals have received no education on gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation during their initial education or while in practice. They need language, communication skills, and protocols in order to build trust with and provide health care for LGBTQ+ populations.
Members of the health care team and academics will benefit from increasing their knowledge of unique health factors within the LGBTQ+ community, best practices for improving patient outcomes, and how to advocate for this population.
TARGET AUDIENCE
We intend this activity for nurses, physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, psychologists, social workers, university faculty, staff, and students in the healthcare professions, LGBTQ+ community members and others with an interest in health care for LGBTQ+ populations.
GLOBAL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
As a result of participating in this activity, the participant as a member of the healthcare team will be able to:

Describe strategies and unique factors for serving LGBTQ+ communities
Explain best practices to advocate and improve LGBTQ+ health outcomes
Develop strategic networks by attending interactive workshops, sessions, and a networking opportunity

ELEMENTS OF COMPETENCE
This educational activity is designed to change learner competence in the following areas:

The American Board of Medical Specialties: Interpersonal and communication skills
Institute of Medicine: Provide patient-centered care
Pharmacist (ACPE): Cultural sensitivity, patient advocacy, and population-based care, and
Nursing and Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies: Values/ethics for interprofessional practice

Wisconsin's Virtual No Menthol Sunday Kick-off
2022-04-22 11:00 - 12:30 | Webinar/Web Conference
Our 2022 theme, Bold Awareness: A Fight to the Finish, encourages congregations, elected officials and communities to unite in the fight against the predatory marketing practices of addictive mentholated tobacco products in Black communities.
After a decades-long battle for health justice in tobacco control, we are embarking upon a major win. In 2022, we anticipate that the Food & Drug Administration will issue standard regulations that will prohibit the sale of tobacco products with any characterizing flavors like menthol.
While we expect total victory, we know we can also expect opposition from every side. That means we must prepare to fend off opponents. No longer will we stand for shallow arguments and the social systems that have perpetuated health disparities and kept tobacco use at status quo. Faith communities can secure support within their congregations by ensuring they understand the benefits of this needed policy change. We’ve got to be bolder and more confident than ever in our efforts to raise awareness. This will require fearless determination and final round of intensity. Together we will fight to the finish, and win!
