LGBTQ + inclusive communication training is essential for all palliative clinicians to deliver culturally safe care. Our findings have implications for identifying unconscious bias, addressing discriminatory care, filling clinician knowledge gaps, and informing educational interventions to support LGBTQ + inclusion. Future research must focus on micro- and macro-level communication issues that shape the quality of palliative and EOL care for patients and chosen family members.
