Article Synopsis
- People with disabilities make up 22.2% of the U.S. population, yet they face inadequate care in the healthcare system, resulting in higher costs and poorer health outcomes.
- Many medical students lack sufficient training in disability care, which affects their ability to meet essential competencies required for residency.
- The authors propose integrating disability concepts into medical curricula through active learning, clinical experiences, and by utilizing the World Health Organization's framework to better prepare future physicians for caring for people with disabilities.
