The mission of Q+ — Yale SOM’s LGBT-straight alliance — is to provide a forum for the exploration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues within the Yale SOM community and future professional settings.

We aim to provide a support system for LGBT students within the SOM community; provide a social network for LGBT SOM students to interact with the broader Yale community; work as a general information resource on LGBT issues for the SOM community; provide recruiting, networking, and other career development opportunities for LGBT students; and foster an open community of gay and non-gay students, professionals, and alumni.
