Being an LGBTQ+ individual comes with its own share of joys and challenges. How are those challenges exacerbated when one decides to come out during training? Dr. William Johansen, a new attending physician, shares his personal journey of coming out during. He speaks candidly about what allowed him to thrive and what he would like to see change within training program infrastructure as it pertains to support for LGBTQ+ trainees.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
• The importance of training programs providing a safe, supportive environment for trainees who identify as LGBTQ+.
• Ensuring that there are mentors in place who can "check in" with trainees while they are going through personal transitions.
• The unique and evolving mental health needs of LGBTQ+ physicians within the context of training programs.
• Strategies for supporting physicians who may be going through transitions in the way they identify.
• Ways of providing mentorship for new trainees as they start the journey of becoming fully trained physicians.
