Learning Resources — Collecting Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Data
This guide was designed to help health centers and other health care organizations successfully collect sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data and document the data into the electronic health record (EHR).
For SOGI scripting, coaching and front line support
In our studies and our practice, we have explored, applied, and refined a collection of frameworks that sequence and structuralize the otherwise amorphous work of DEI. For our peers, our leaders, and our students alike, these frameworks have transformed DEI-oriented intentions and values into tangible realities. We apply these frameworks in all contexts, from one-on-one coaching, to small-team workshops, to community-wide trainings.
