The Tufts Biomedical Queer Alliance is an organization dedicated to connecting and strengthening the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community of students and professionals at the Tufts University Health Sciences Campus in downtown Boston, MA and at the Brighton Campus in Portland, ME. We advocate for, support, and celebrate the gender and sexual minority (GSM) community on both campuses.

We represent students at the Medical, Dental, Friedman, PHPD, and Graduate schools as well as faculty, staff, and residents at Tufts Medical Center/Maine Medical Center. Our activities range from social gatherings to forums and volunteer opportunities.

Many of our meetings and events are not exclusive to the queer community – we welcome everyone at Tufts to become members and allies, as we work to educate, advocate and support each other.

Goals

We strive to:

  • Provide a voice for the queer community at the Tufts University Boston and Portland Campuses.
  • Foster a strong social and professional network of LGBTQ+ students and professionals.
  • Educate about the special needs of the GSM community as patients and as providers.
  • Coordinate with groups at other institutions to expand these ideas.
