GENDER, SEXUALITY AND INTERDISCIPLINARITY: (RE)THINKING MEDICAL TRAINING FOCUSED ON THE INTEGRALITY OF HEALTH CARE OF THE LGBTQ POPULATION+

Abstract

Health is not a restricted right. According to the Magna Carta, promulgated in 1988, health is everyone's right. From this pretext, one can imagine that the entire population has access to the Unified Health System; however, we realize that, besides the difficulties in having access, socially vulnerable populations such as the LGBTQIA+ community face a centuries-old problem: prejudice. Thus, investigating how prejudice in the health field affects the effectiveness of the welfare of this population becomes essential for the effectiveness not only of the legal manifesto, but also of an issue that affects everyday life, keeping people away from access to health. Exploratory research of qualitative nature was carried out, using as research technique the literature review, under the narrative format. From this perspective, we conclude that the medical professional has few resources for social inclusion in medical school, which influences not only their care to the population, but also the continuation and effectiveness of the prejudice that plagues the LGBTQIA+ community, making it essential to introduce methods in medical school in order to transform not the medical person, but the medical professional, respecting the constitutional enactment: health for all, literally, everyone.
