LGBT Office Established

In 2014, the LGBT Office was established as part of the Office of Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership. Although student and faculty-led efforts to support Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) students had existed since the 1980s, the office was Harvard Medical School's official attempt to enhance diversity inclusion while fostering an open, affirming, and welcoming community for LGBT students, staff, faculty, trainees, and fellows at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Dental Medicine. The goal of the office is to identify key areas of importance, programmatic interventions, and resources that support LGBT issues. The LGBT Advisory Committee advises the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine on key priorities that address issues of importance to the HMS/HSDM LGBT community.
