Medical students can be powerful advocates for and in partnership with the disability community, yet opportunities for targeted advocacy training are sparse. In February 2023, a medical student-led workshop on disability advocacy for trainees took place at the Association of Academic Physiatrists' Annual Conference. The aims of this session were for trainees to (1) identify existing gaps in disability education at their institution and in policy around disability-related issues; (2) improve perceived ability to engage in disability-related education and policy-based advocacy; and (3) apply an intersectional lens to identify opportunities for intersectionality in disability advocacy.

- A 33-year-old woman with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) on fingolimod presented with an unresponsive skin lesion on her abdomen, and her recent lymphocyte count indicated significant immunosuppression.
- Initially, the lesion was assessed as benign without a biopsy; however, after a neurologist's recommendation, a shave biopsy was performed that revealed a cryptococcal fungal infection.
- The case highlights the need for careful monitoring and screening for skin infections in MS patients using immunosuppressants like fingolimod, as they may be more susceptible to infections due to weakened immune systems.
