"The waters of medical education are inherently turbulent and diffcult to navigate. This is especially true for learners with disabilities,1 who experience unique barriers in the course of their training. Medical educators have sought guidance in their efforts to support these learners as they enter and graduate from medical school. What was once relatively unusual has become much more common in medical education: About 1,500 medical students with disabilities in the United States currently receive accommodations. While there has certainly been growth in the number of students who disclose a disability, the proportion of those students who seek accommodations remains small, at 2.7%.2 The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine (UCSF) sought to understand the lived experiences of learners with disabilities navigating medical education by gathering the perspectives of students, residents, and physicians with disabilities. This report weaves together the major themes shared by these individuals and current research in order to capture the current state of medical education for qualifed learners with disabilities. The intended audience includes medical students, residents, faculty, institutional leaders and administrators, and aspiring applicants and their advisors. The report is designed to help the reader understand the lived experiences of learners with disabilities and to catalyze movement toward practices that ensure that all qualifed learners, regardless of disability, have equal access to medical education and the profession of medicine"--Executive summary.

Medical education is a critical site for disability inclusion. Despite increased attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion, disabled medical students report enduring marginalization that reveals deeply-rooted inequities in medical systems and education. This thesis presents a grounded theory of disability inclusion at four U.S. medical schools. Following a constructivist grounded theory methodology, I iteratively conducted and analyzed 52 semi-structured interviews with 19 disabled medical students and 27 school officials. Relevant medical school policies and observations of physical spaces comprised additional data sources. Theories from the field of disability studies, primarily studies in ableism and crip theory, were engaged to interpret findings. Student and school-official interactions with inclusion were informed by a flawed, dichotomous cultural logic of medical education, the capability imperative. Dominant conceptions of disability as individual inability contrasted with expectations of hyper-ability in medicine. Student and school-official accounts illuminated the capability imperative, which consists of three motifs: selfless superhuman physicians, the “real world” of medicine, and the malleable student. Together, these conditions demanded that students fit existing medical training environments. Competing, alternative conceptualizations of disability supported actions beyond rejection of disability or exclusion, however, the legibility of a student’s experience moderated understandings of disability and associated inclusive actions. I theorize disability inclusion in medical education as a process of negotiating the capability imperative. Students and school officials negotiated barriers to access depending on perceived consequences to seeking or making change. They upheld or worked the capability imperative to meet, or enable students to meet, existing expectations. Some actions resisted the capability imperative, through attempts to resignify capability. These negotiations illustrated an ableist hegemony at work, requiring hyper-able performances but with opportunities for subversion. An accommodations-focused approach to inclusion that individualized disability and access supported this hegemony. As a result, disability inclusion in medical education remains incomplete and requires transformation. In response, I reimagine educational structures that value disabled medical professionals. Fueled by a politics of crip futurity, this transformative vision is grounded by universal design, reconceptualizes notions of capability, and fosters disability epistemology in professional identity formation.

Administrators and faculty in medical, nursing and health science programs are witnessing a substantial increase in the number of students with disabilities entering their programs. Concurrently, the benefits of diversity in healthcare are becoming increasingly apparent and important. Provider-patient concordance is a known mechanism for reducing health care disparities. By developing a workforce that mirrors the patient population, we can appropriately inform disability care, reducing health care disparities while embracing the tenets of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), namely equal opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for qualified individuals with disabilities. One in five individuals will experience disability at some point in their lives, making this the largest minority in the US. A commitment to disability inclusion for qualified students should be a high-level goal of nursing, medical, and other health science programs. To support this goal, leaders in these areas must develop robust programs and an understanding of the best practices for inclusion. This first-of-its-kind title is designed to help deans, program directors, faculty, student affairs personnel and disability resource professionals thoughtfully plan for the growing population of health-care professionals with disabilities. The content helps stakeholders contextualize disability inclusion in health-care education as a function of social justice and a mechanism of reducing health care disparities for patients. It offers pragmatic advice, grounded in research, best practice, and case law to address the highly nuanced approach to determining and implementing accommodations in a high-stakes clinical environment. Disability as Diversity connects the moving parts necessary to ensure equal access for qualified students and provides a blueprint for crafting policy, proactive messaging, improving climate, adhering to accreditation standards, addressing licensing and board exams, responding to student failure, all while remaining compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and applicable Federal regulations. This text provides educators with the perspectives and skills they need to bring disability inclusion to the forefront of health education.

A new publication, Medical Students with Disabilities: Resources to Enhance Accessibility does not replace the technical standards guide published by the AAMC in 2005 (Medical Students with Disabilities: A Generation of Practice) but rather speaks to the current state of resources available to medical schools as they accept and matriculate a growing number of medical students with a wide range of disabilities. Specifically, there is an emphasis in this publication on the assistive technologies available for medical students.

This handbook will raise awareness about the importance of health and well-being of people with disabilities in the context of the global development agenda: Leaving No-one Behind. There has been a growing discussion on how people with disabilities should be included in the global health landscape. An estimated one billion people have some form of disability, 80% of whom live in low- and middle-income settings. People with disabilities are more likely to be poor, with restricted access to health and social services, education, rehabilitation and employment. Despite this, people with disabilities are often overlooked in global health and development efforts. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that unless systematically planned for and included in policies and programmes, people with disabilities remain at an increased risk of being adversely affected in times of humanitarian crisis and emergency disasters. Divided into eight sections: Disability and Health Frameworks Health Justice, Rights and Bioethics Gendering Disability Health Disability and Global Mental Health Disability and Access to Healthcare, Including Workforce Development Crises and Health Technology and Digital Health Disability, Ageing and Dementia Care This handbook covers the full range of topics pertaining to disability and global health including inclusive health; access to rehabilitation; global mental health and disability; medical training and disability; community based inclusive development for improving health and rehabilitation; maternal health and sexual reproduction; preventive care and health promotion for people with disabilities; health, disability and indigenous knowledges; bioethics and human rights; data protection; and health in the global south. It will be of interest to all scholars, students and professionals working in the fields of disability studies, health studies, nursing, medicine, allied health, development studies and sociology.

ABC of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Healthcare ABC of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Healthcare Improve inclusion, for both patients and staff, in your healthcare environment Fulfilment in personal and professional life is facilitated by feeling able to bring one’s complete self to work. The promotion of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) and its support in the workplace is crucial to achieving this. Diverse and inclusive teams are characterised by good people management, leading to better decision-making and improved performance which staff wellbeing and patient safety depend on. Though issues including racism, sexism and homophobia have roots in wider society, they also exist across healthcare systems worldwide. They contribute to problems with recruitment and retention of staff and can make patients reluctant to access the care they need and deserve. The ABC of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Health summarises the key issues and the impacts on both patients and staff of excluding people from good healthcare solely on the basis of who they are. As well as considering impacts on individuals and teams, we consider also how inclusion can be improved for the benefit of everyone—all patients and all staff. Topics include: Racism in healthcare Women in healthcare Sexual orientation and gender identity Disability, disparities and ableism in medicine Teaching equality, diversity, and inclusion in healthcare The authors are distinguished healthcare practitioners whose personal and professional lives have been enriched by the diversity of all they meet through their work and who are passionate about ensuring positive change for colleagues and patients. This book aims to contribute to important discussions about how to ensure systemic change that will enable an inclusive culture by recognising and celebrating diversity.

Currently, there is a critical need to integrate diversity and inclusion into health professions curricula and to diversify educators’ approaches to teaching. The COVID-19 pandemic has most recently highlighted the systemic barriers that exist for our most vulnerable patients. To address these inequities, it is important to promote diversity and inclusion in thought, practice, and curricular content. Social and cultural experiences uniquely influence the learning experience, so a plurality of perspectives should be represented in educational material and seen in the classroom. Cases on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Health Professions Educator serves as a tool to enhance the structure and competencies of learners in health professions. This case book engages both learners and educators in health professions in robust discussions that serve to enhance awareness and knowledge around these issues with the expectation that knowledge will translate into practices that eventually reduce health inequities. Covering topics such as ableism, barriers to healthcare access, and mental health stigma, this case book is an indispensable resource for health professionals, educators and students in the health professions, hospital administrators, medical librarians, sociologists, government officials, researchers, and academicians.

Everyone irrespective of their physical and mental abilities has the right to get a quality education. Laws around the globe are striving to prohibit discrimination and provide specially enabled students with equal opportunities and support. This particular review throws light on the various aspects that affect the successful execution of inclusive classrooms. We’ll go over the nature of the educational process and the factors that matter the most. Patients with disabilities often feel neglected. If a medical institution has disabled medical practitioners, that helps boost the confidence of patients. This also prevents doctors from assuming about the personal lives and activities of patients with disabilities. This review talks about the advantages and disadvantages that educational institution and students have to come across while trying to work together in an inclusive environment. We’ll also ponder upon the major pitfalls that an inclusive program presents to the educational institutions and staff. Towards the end, the review intends to provide certain guidelines that if followed can result in a healthy inclusion of disabled students into the regular curriculum. Inclusive education reinforces the idea of diversity and identifies every student by their learning capabilities. Modern classrooms need to be specially designed to cater to the needs of each and every candidate.
