Description
Summary:Based on Nature ’s novel sex and gender guidelines, we share a call to action to enact policy changes in medical and scientific education. We conducted a literature search of current policies and practices affecting sex and gender minorities. Our work indicated a scarcity of guidelines and curricula dedicated to standardizing LGBTQIA2S+ topics.

It is essential that sex and gender considerations be mandated topics in both medical and scientific education.
