The Medical GLBT Organization (MedGLO) is the social and support network for UCLA medical students, faculty, and staff who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning.  Requests for confidentiality will be respected. As a student organization, we strive to educate the university community on health issues facing LGBT patients, and advocate on their behalf for competent and compassionate care. Everyone who believes that LGBT patients have a basic human right to adequate healthcare, or who supports those who are LGBT, is welcome within MedGLO.
