If you have an overwhelming desire to hear the sound of my voice, I will be doing a Webcast tomorrow at 10 a.m. CST. More information about the topic and how to access the stream can be found here. Listen and be enthralled.
The NY Times has a good piece about medical students with physical disabilities and the overall increase in students with disabilities in college and graduate school. I thought this quote was telling:
Doctors are the least comfortable and often the least knowledgeable about disability issues.
I would argue that it depends on the age and the chosen specialization of the doctor, but yeah, lots of physicians are still pretty clueless about how to interact with people with disabilities. In my previous job, I did monthly lectures for medical students on how to address the needs of adolescents and young adults with disabilities. I really enjoyed the limited contact I had with the students and I like to think I made a small difference in how they treat their future patients.
