Inconsistent access to reliable transportation is a significant barrier to medical care in rural New York. Lack of transportation results in missed medical appointments, poor management of chronic conditions, and increased preventable emergency room visits. Increasing routine screening for this social determinant of health can reveal underlying barriers to care, promote referrals to case workers and increase resource allocation. This project sought to increase routine screening via the promotion of smart phrases to be included in routine wellness documentation in the EMR, in conjunction with a didactic session for current family medicine residents.

This didactic session was found to be an engaging and effective method of teaching physicians about LGBTQ+ health. Additional work is needed to further train physicians and other healthcare professionals about the challenges faced by marginalized populations in our healthcare system.
