Provider directories may serve as a bridge solution until lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) education becomes a requisite within standard medical education. The three national LGBTQ+-competent provider directories in the United States were evaluated. Two directories served the LGBTQ+ community while one served the gender minority community. All enumerated thousands of providers. One allowed provider-specific feedback. All provided searchable criteria (e.g., provider name, location, specialty, population identity, service type, payment types, gender identity, and languages spoken). By implementing these key features, existing and future directories could better provide equitable healthcare access for the LGBTQ+ population
