Description

Join us as we learn from Dr. Lisa Meeks, a leader on disabilities in medical education and our friend from the Docs with Disabilities podcast, which she founded and co-hosts. Dr. Meeks discusses the multifaceted aspects of disability identity, centering persons with disability in our language and conversations, and the challenges posed by disclosure.

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate the multifaceted aspects of disability identity, considering societal perceptions and personal experiences, to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.
2. Differentiate between identity-first and person-first language to foster inclusive and respectful interactions with individuals with disabilities.
3. Investigate the prevalence of disabilities among physicians, critically analyzing research findings and recognizing the challenges associated with disclosure, particularly focusing on intersectional factors such as race and gender.
4. Explore the intersectionality of disabilities within the healthcare context to gain insights into the unique challenges faced by individuals with multiple marginalized identities.
