Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Disability Studies
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians frequently encounter disabled patients, a significant marginalized population.
  • Medical education often overlooks disability-focused content, despite student and physician discomfort and pervasive ableism in healthcare.
  • Addressing these gaps is crucial for equitable patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a three-part elective curriculum for first-year medical students focused on disability.
  • To enhance students' knowledge, confidence, and attitudes regarding the care of patients with disabilities.
  • To incorporate disability models, patient examination techniques (ADEPT-CARE), and disability history into medical training.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Kern's curriculum development model and input from the disability community.
  • Developed a three-part elective curriculum covering disability models, patient care, and history.
  • Assessed curriculum effectiveness using pre- and post-surveys measuring knowledge, confidence, and attitudes.

Main Results:

  • All participating students (n=21) reported improved knowledge of disability health.
  • Students reported increased perceived confidence in caring for patients with disabilities.
  • No statistically significant changes were observed in students' attitudes toward patients with disabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The asynchronous curriculum effectively enhanced preclinical medical students' self-perceived knowledge and confidence in disability health.
  • Further curriculum development may be needed to address attitudinal changes regarding disability.
  • This module presents a scalable solution for integrating essential disability education into medical training.
