The Curbsiders Teach

Lisa Meeks, PhD (UMICH) @meekslisa of Docs with Disabilities Initiative and Podcast shares her expertise around supporting learners with disabilities.  In this episode, we challenge our ableist approach in medicine and focus on including the rich diversity of disabled learners in medical training.  We review best practices for mentoring students, ways institutions can improve disability policies (and follow ACGME guidelines), and so many resources to learn more.  Whether you’re a student, trainee, or faculty member, this episode offers a view into how all of us in health professions education can work to advocate for, support, and empower ourselves and our colleagues with disabilities.  Website | Instagram | Twitter | Subscribe | Swag! | Top Picks | thecurbsidersteach@gmail.com | Free CME!
