American Medical Association amends nondiscrimination policy to include gender identity

This past week, the American Medical Association amended their nondiscrimination policy to include "gender identity", providing a huge step forward in the language of inclusiveness in the medical field.

The implications of this change can be far-reaching, as the policy protects not only medical professionals but also medical students and patients from discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
