Is our healthcare system accessible for people with disabilities or just compliant? This week we talk with Dr. Priya Chandan, MD, MPH, who is Vice President of Healthcare Quality and Analytics at Kramer Davis and Clinical Associate Professor in the Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Louisville School of Medicine; and Dr. Emily Noonan, PhD, MA, who is Assistant Professor in Undergraduate Medical Education at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. We discuss disability and medicine, which touches all clinicians regardless of specialty. Priya and Emily describe how ableism and the lack of accessibility create barriers to care for people with disabilities, and they discuss their curriculum initiatives that engage self-advocates to teach students about disability and health care. Learn more about their work to improve health care for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities here.
