Today we mourn the incredible loss of

a mentor and light for so many.
We challenge YOU to create access and advocate for disability inclusion in her honor.
Get involved, educate yourself.
We are all responsible for access.

Remember that hashtags are significantly more accessible for those who use screen readers, have learning disabilities, experience brain fog and more when every new word is capitalized. Thats why we say
#DocsWithDisabilities
and not "

."

Together, we have created a movement.
Since 2018, we've tweeted 40K times. In April, the
#DocsWithDisabilities
hashtag left 2.6 million impressions.
Most importantly, we created a space for people to connect, share their experiences, research and build community.
Thank you 🤍

Release from overnight call in residency is a reasonable accommodation under the ADA w/ few exceptions (e.g., program size and necessity of overnights to the speciality (surgery and ObGyn). In large internal medicine residencies, this is almost always reasonable.

3/6 When a talk is in person-ask if there are accommodation needs.
Do not "pack" the schedule. Consider transportation needs, taking elevators instead of stairs, and building in breaks. You may not "see" a disability. Be thoughtful about a speakers potential access needs.

Funding
#MedEd
#Disability
work is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.
So much of the work is done by
#DocsWithDisabilities
, with no pay or protected time, on top of the disability/minority tax already in play.

"Most medical students receive no disability training which is a little mind-blowing. If you're in this work and you recognize that 1 in 4 individuals is a PWD, how can we not be teaching this in the curriculum?"

Finally, that any trainee is not worth reasonable adjustments for 4 weeks to maintain their wellness is a horrible reflection on our profession, our humanity and our commitment to
#DEI
. Moreover, it's just bad business.
