Abstract
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals and patients face high levels of discrimination both in the workplace and in the clinic setting, with more than 25% of LGBTQ+ people experiencing discrimination in the workplace due to their sexual orientation. Hand Surgery stands to continue to advance by encouraging the brightest students into the field no matter their background. LGBTQ+ patients also have specific needs within the field of Hand Surgery, where we are uniquely positioned to treat them or guide them by being well versed in the needs of the community.
