The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans People in Medicine (LGBTPM) student group in the Pritzker school of Medicine aims to create a safe social space for queer members in the Pritzker community by increasing queer visibility and promoting awareness about queer related issues, both health care and social aspects. As such, the group hosts an annual welcome dinner for incoming first-year medical students, organizes social events for all queer medical students, coordinates a lecture series concerning topics in sex and health, and provides opportunities for students to volunteer at Chicago health centers that serve the queer community. The group also provides structure to introduce faculty members and students to serve as a queer mentoring program.
