The Case for Disability Education and Advocacy in Undergraduate Medical Education

Disability education is an important part of training future physicians to care of people of all backgrounds and abilities to optimize medical outcomes. This 45 minute session will make the case for including disability education in undergraduate medical education, will discuss the lack of disability education around the country, review new and current curriculum for Feinberg students, review the role of medical students in advocating for curricular elements relating to disability, and discuss additional ways to integrate disability education into medical education.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to
  • Understand the state of the union for current recommendations for disability curriculum in medical schools
  • Review new and current curriculum that exists for Feinberg students
  • Identify potential additions for future learning and appreciate the role of the medical student advocate in incorporating disability education"
