SWSO explored educational experiences in 126 programs in 44 U. S. states and 7 Canadian provinces. 44% of students reported limited inclusion of LGBTQ+ content in classes, yet 64% indicated some degree of support for their LGBTQ+ identities in their programs. One-third reported homophobic experiences in programs, yet many (63%) were aware of “out” LGBTQ+ faculty. Overall, students reported fairly low levels of self-assessed practice readiness with specific sub-populations (i.e., gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender), with participants reporting the highest (somewhat prepared) self-assessed readiness with gay populations and the lowest (not well-prepared) self-assessed readiness with transgender populations. Participants suggested lower readiness for their non-LGBTQ+ colleagues.
