Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care.

It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Disability Studies
  • Academic Medicine

Background:

  • A significant, yet unquantified, number of medical school faculty members have disabilities.
  • Existing institutional policies often prioritize leaves of absence over explicit accommodations for teaching, research, and clinical duties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss and explore strategies for accommodating active medical school faculty with disabilities.
  • To highlight initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine concerning faculty with sensory and physical disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and institutional policies regarding faculty disability.
  • Analysis of anecdotal reports and experiences of faculty with disabilities.
  • Examination of specific accommodation strategies implemented or proposed.

Main Results:

  • Many faculty with disabilities fear reprisal and hesitate to request accommodations mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Inconsistent enforcement of ADA requirements and physical access issues indicate a limited institutional commitment to disabled faculty.
  • Effective accommodations may include flexible promotion timelines, modified travel requirements, improved physical accessibility, and adjusted schedules.

Conclusions:

  • Faculty with disabilities contribute equally to medical schools and offer valuable perspectives on chronic illness and impairment.
  • Medical institutions must improve explicit policies and enforcement of accommodations to fully support faculty with disabilities.
