Safe Space with the Department of Physician Assistant Studies

PRIDE rolled out "Safe Space 2.0," a new clinician-focused curriculum on LGBTQ-health related issues. Eric Gonzales (MSI) and Denise Nemeth (PAS) worked closely together to lead this initiative and hold the first partnered Safe Space session between the School of Medicine and Department of Physician Studies.

Eric and Denise built upon the work of Chris Alonzo (MSIII), former co-president and founder of Safe Space to develop the new curriculum.
