Reflection on Infographic Assignment
The creation of an infographic that would meet the health promotion requirements of the LGBTQ+ population was a very educational process. It is deemed to be out of the nature of healthcare disparity and found its way into the system, cultural, and provider-level factors, which are pushing this population to fight every day (Eliscu et al., 2023).
This research paper and synthesis project name the critical points of failure in the provision of health care and construct models of better and more equal care on a scalable basis. Three surprising aspects of the LGBTQ + population I learned in the course of doing this assignment are discussed below, and three steps I can take to be more culturally responsive in conducting clinical practice in the future are elaborated.
