The 2nd annual OUT for Health Summit doubled in attendance this year, with more than 160 registrants! The TAGH executive board, chaired by the Dustin Staloch and Will Tyson of UT-Houston, hosted event. The sessions this year included Child & Adolescent Mental Health in the LGBTQ Community, LGBT & HIV Healthcare Law, HIV/AIDS stigma in the Medical Community and Public, PrEP: HIV Prophylaxis, Transgender Sexual & Reproductive Health, Caring for an Aging LGB, T, and HIV+ Community, and a Residency Program Directors Panel.
And with the generous funding of UTHSCSA Student Government Associations, we were able to bring an interdisciplinary group of nursing student and medical students!

At the research poster section, UTHSCSA presented two posters titled “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Health in Medical Education: A Review of the Literature” and “Overview: LGBTQI San Antonio Healthcare Needs Assessment.”
Come out with next year to attend this great event that started here at UTHSCSA!
