Hear from Co-Host Edward Pingenot and Dr. Dorothy Tolchin, physiatrist and Director of Medical Student Education for the Harvard Medical School/Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Department of PM&R. The discussion surrounds the existing disparities faced by persons with disabilities both in medicine and in society. Learn about why this is important and what medical students can do to promote a better world for persons with disabilities.

Quick advice for medical students on how to advocate for persons with disabilities:

“Be medical students! Be curious, ask questions. Here are some questions that we medical students can ask our preceptors to begin the conversation of promoting disability inclusivity in the clinical setting: Are there patients who use wheelchairs in this clinic? Are there wheelchair accessible entrances in this clinic? Do we have a wheelchair accessible scale here, and how might I find it?”
