"Being aware of [unconscious biases] doesn't necessarily make them go away, but it helps us to be aware that we have those biases so that those biases don't impact how we care for our patients and the decisions we make about care." — Brenda Cassidy, associate professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing When students of Brenda Cassidy, DNP, RN, CPNP-PC, at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing expressed uncertainty about how to respectfully ask patients about sexual orientation and gender identity, a consult with her colleagues found their students felt the same hesitancy. For this week's lead story, I spoke with Cassidy about how she and two colleagues developed a unique interactive learning module and resource toolbox to provide best practices in LGBTQIA+ healthcare to those students — and all healthcare providers. |
