Welcome to the LGBTQ + Medical Student Allies
Mission
To instill a culture of openness and discussion at UCF College of Medicine. As physicians we play an important role in supporting the growth and development of others. Part of our role is to provide a safe and affirming environment to discuss sexual orientation, gender identities and expression. Through outreach, partnership with LGBTQ of Orlando, advocacy, and competency building workshops, we hope to raise awareness among the student population towards the needs of the LGBTQ community. In addition, we hope to facilitate an environment that welcomes diversity. We also aim to foster allyship amongst the COM community and encourage all students, not just of queer backgrounds, to learn and participate in our activities.
