Join us for Part 2 of our conversation with 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 prevalence of disabilities across the training and career spectrum, the risks of disclosure that students and physicians with disabilities face, and the resources of which we should all be aware for ourselves and for those around us.

Learning Objectives:

1. Investigate the prevalence of disabilities among physicians at different stages of their training and careers.
2. Recognize some of the challenges and risks associated with disclosure of one’s disability.
3. Build awareness of the repository of reliable resources on physicians with disabilities, disability access, accommodations, and stories that one can utilize for themselves and share with trainees with disabilities who are looking for resources.
