Abstract
Background: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) community faces discrimination in health care. Nurses interact with LGBTQ+ individuals in a wide variety of health care settings. Baccalaureate nursing and health professions students do not receive adequate education on topics of LGBTQ+ health in academic or clinical settings, and additional nursing education is needed on LGBTQ+ health.
Method: Existing courses were analyzed, and themes and structures were assessed. Course learning outcomes were developed, along with a timeline and a course outline. The course was structured as an asynchronous online course to be deployed in a learning management system.
Results: A senior-level asynchronous online nursing elective course was developed on LGBTQ+ health for an urban public university. The course was structured using a life-span approach with additional topics.
Conclusion: Widespread development of courses on LGBTQ+ health should be implemented in all schools of nursing. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(10):584-588.].
