Welcome to Washington Univ SOM Local LGBTPM Chapter
Mission
The Gay-Straight Alliance is an organization focused on promoting an LGBT-friendly environment at the medical school and in providing social support for other LGBT students. Through speakers, small discussions, films and community outreach activities, we hope to educate fellow students and physicians about issues facing LGBT patients and health providers as well as reach out to the LGBT community in areas such as health education and youth mentoring. We meet monthly for discussions and to plan various events. Eventually, we hope to include students from other graduate programs as well.

Non-Discrimination Policy Statement
Washington University encourages and gives full consideration to all applicants for admission, financial aid, and employment. The University does not discriminate in access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran status, or disability. Present Department of Defense policy governing ROTC and AFROTC programs discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation; such discrimination is inconsistent with Washington University policy.
