Abstract:
As medical schools embrace diversity, it is increasingly acknowledged that medical students with disabilities must be welcome and supported in becoming physicians. Students should be able to ask for and receive reasonable accommodations to support their education. However, a practical shared approach to supporting medical students with disabilities is needed. The 12 tips in this article use sense-making theory as a framework to guide medical school faculty in supporting medical students with disabilities. The tips center on perceiving cues, creating interpretations, taking action, and communicating with students. The 12 tips can be utilized by faculty members across universities to take a proactive role in implementing support for medical students with disabilities and, in turn, nurturing an inclusive educational environment.
