Embracing Pronoun Diversity in Medicine

May 1, 2024

Have you ever accidentally used the wrong pronoun when speaking to a learner, colleague, or patient? Did you freeze, try to correct the mistake, or let it slide? Are you striving for inclusivity but worried about causing offense or making a mistake?

Join 4th year medical student Douglas Lebo (they/them) as they delve into key aspects of queer and trans vocabulary, providing clarity on essential umbrella terms. They also highlight examples of microaggressions and offers practical tips for addressing mistakes when they happen.

Douglas discusses the roles medical specialists play in being allies and standing up for what’s right, emphasizing the importance of open conversations about learning and unlearning. Being open-minded, willing, and humble are crucial to the ongoing journey of personal growth and improvement.

A challenge from today’s episode: Consider reflecting on the type of medicine you aspire to practice whilst being the type of leader who fosters inclusivity for learners, colleagues, and patients.

Douglas is the Administrator for the Canadian Queer Medical Students Association cqmsa.org.
