Abstract:
Research documents that discrimination and harassment directed toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals are ongoing and prevalent in the workplaces in the United States. An exploratory study to identify athletic trainer's attitudes and beliefs about bullying and harassment of LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace will be the impetus for attendees to self-reflect on their own biases and treatment towards those who identify with that population. Professionalism and patient-centered care will be addressed to better understand how athletic trainers can be ally's in their workplace.  

Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to describe LGBTQ+ attitudes by certified athletic trainers.
  • Participants will be able to describe differences in attitudes based on race/ethnicity, age, and gender identity. 
  • Participants will be able to examine the implications for healthcare according to age, race/ethnicity, and gender identity of the clinician. 
  • Participants will be able to provide examples of patient-centered care for those who identify as LGBTQ+. 
  • Participants will be able to examine ones beliefs of treating LGBTQ+ patients and how they fit into the NATA Code of Ethics, BOC Standards of Practice, and state practice acts.
