Objective: To map the scientific evidence and identify knowledge gaps regarding the health of Black and Sexual and Gender Minority populations within the global context of health education. Introduction: Health education curricula should explicitly recognize, define, and address the specific needs and health disparities affecting Black and Sexual and Gender Minority populations to ensure that healthcare provision is comprehensive and inclusive in diverse settings. Eligibility criteria: Studies related to professional health training at undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as other educational modalities addressing healthcare provision for Black and Sexual and Gender Minority populations, were included. Methods: This scoping review was conducted following the JBI methodology. Studies were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Virtual Health Library, CINAHL, ERIC, Cochrane Library, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, ProQuest Dissertations however, the integration of structured and mandatory curricular approaches addressing the intersectional health needs of Black and Sexual and Gender Minority populations remains limited. The findings highlight the need for broader geographic representation, stronger methodological designs, and the development of comprehensive educational strategies capable of addressing structural inequalities within health training contexts.
