Unlocking excellence in health care: the power of inclusive and sensitive language in medicine

Abstract

This call to action aims to increase awareness of inclusive language in medicine to enhance the experiences of patients and staff and improve health outcomes. Recognizing that terms change, we urge all health-care professionals to advocate for their colleagues and patients. This responsibility to educate the community should not fall exclusively onto marginalized communities.
