🌈 Let's Talk: Understanding Pronouns, Identity & Allyship for the LGBTQ+ Community in GME

Creating an inclusive learning environment isn't about having all the answers—it's about being willing to listen, learn, and lead with curiosity. In this special Pride Month episode of Let's Talk, GME Compass welcomes Lashaun Goss, Fellowship Program Coordinator, educator, advocate, and champion for inclusive excellence, for an important conversation about allyship, identity, belonging, and psychological safety in Graduate Medical Education. Together, we explore practical ways Program Coordinators, Program Managers, GME leaders, faculty, and educators can create environments where every learner feels seen, valued, respected, and supported. From understanding pronouns and gender identity to fostering authentic connections and building cultures of belonging, this discussion offers meaningful insights that can be applied across residency and fellowship training programs. Topics discussed include: • Understanding pronouns and gender identity • Allyship in Graduate Medical Education • Creating psychologically safe learning environments • Building trust through curiosity, listening, and respect • Equity versus equality and why the distinction matters • Supporting LGBTQ+ trainees through meaningful connection • Creating cultures of belonging within residency and fellowship programs • Practical ways GME professionals can continue learning and growing as allies Whether you're just beginning your learning journey or looking for ways to strengthen inclusivity within your program, this conversation serves as a reminder that meaningful change often starts with simple acts of curiosity, compassion, and connection. 🧭 Subscribe to GME Compass for practical insights, leadership development, operational strategies, and conversations that help turn GME complexity into clarity and control. 🌐 Website: www.gmecompass.com 🔗 LinkedIn: @GME Compass 📸 Instagram: @gmecompass #PrideMonth #LGBTQInMedicine #MedicalEducation #GraduateMedicalEducation #GMECompass #ProgramCoordinator #ProgramManager #ResidencyEducation #FellowshipEducation #GMELeadership #Allyship #Belonging #PsychologicalSafety #InclusiveLeadership #MedicalEducators
