Disability Competency Training in Medical Education
Description:
This mixed methods study explored the extent the Core Competencies on Disability for Health Care Education are addressed in medical education programs and the facilitators and barriers to expanding curricular integration. While many schools reported addressing most of the Core Competencies, the extent of disability competency training varied across medical programs with the majority showing limited opportunities for in depth understanding of disability. Findings support the need for better integration of disability competency training woven throughout medical school curriculum to encourage in-depth understanding about disability. Formal inclusion of the Core Competencies into the Liaison Committee on Medical Education standards can help ensure that disability competency training does not rely on champions or resources.
