Gay and Lesbian Medical Association

Besides GMHC (Gay Men’s Health Crisis), there is another medical organization that deals with the health and education of the LGBT community and the public at large. The Gay and Lesbian medical Association (GLMA) was originally open only to physicians, residents, and students, but as of 2002 has expanded to include tens of thousands of LGBT health professionals and LGBT patients. In their membership, there are around 1,000 health professionals who reside and work in most US states and several countries. Their health care disciplines include “internal medicine, family practice, psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, emergency medicine, neurology and infectious diseases.” For more, go to www.glma.org.
