Hi, I was wondering about everyone's experiences with this organization or if anyone here is involved with it?😍😀

Have been a member in spirit for years. I think I "joined" while in school, so I've been getting their emails and announcements ever since. However, I haven't made it to a conference or paid membership dues. I refer people to their provider directory all of the time, and I think I listed when I got my license.

But, overall impression - seems like a stand-up group and I've heard no complaints.

what caused you not to attend the conferences? were they too far or more social than educational?

a) I'm poor and only go to conferences I get work to pay for. b) I haven't done much research in LGBT issues so I couldn't justify going to present something.

They looked sufficiently educational, so it's not like I thought it wouldn't be worth going. And, I haven't ruled out going in the future if I start doing more LGBT-focused clinical care.

I get confused outside of the lounge. Not sure if I should go with "reality" (you couldn' be more incorrect about my type ) or "satirical" (what happens at conference... stays at conference )

I feel that if we proceed too far down this path, the thread will be banished to the lounge.

I'm a member and attended a conference in Portland last year. It was great fun, and I'll probably go again at some point in the future (read: When they choose a city I'm interested in visiting and I have the flexibility to make time for said conference).

I'm a member and have had a blast at the last two conferences! It is great both for learning about LGBTQIA+ medicine topics as well as connecting with others interested in that area of healthcare!

If you are a student they offer some conference fee waivers to students in exchange for volunteering at registration for a few hours and have some availability of conference hotel rooms that are shared relatively inexpensively.

Since it's on topic, the GLMA conference registration just went up

GLMA - 2017 Annual Conference - Launch

Cool Filling the Gaps of LGBT healthcare. Yes I def want to volunteer at the conference since I don't have any research I can display. Sound like fun!

Gay 2nd year medical student; considering going to the GLMA annual conference in September but a little hesitant as this would be the first time I am going, and I would have to pay for everything out-of-pocket (~$400) (school's deadline for asking a travel grant has passed for this quarter). Has anyone gone before? Could you pm me and tell me how the experience was?

I very much enjoyed the one I went to in Portland. There were some fantastic sessions about transgender health, LGBT free clinics, and other things, and I got to meet some great attendings, residents, and medical students who were all interested in LGBT health. We had a great time both professionally and socially.

But what we really need to know - were there hot single doctors there?

[I kid, I kid. I haven't had my coffee yet.]
