First LGBTQ+ Forum

Celebrating Visibility

Thank you to all who were able to come out and celebrate visibility within the Stanford LGBTQ+ community. The Stanford Medicine Alumni Association and the Stanford School of Medicine is proud to sponsor the first LGBTQ+ Forum celebrating visibility.

Establishing visibility is critical in advancing toward an academic environment in which LGBTQ+ students, trainees, staff, faculty, and alumni are included, valued, and recognized.
