Join us as we learn from Dr. Lisa Meeks, a leader on disabilities in medical education and our friend from the Docs with Disabilities podcast, which she founded and co-hosts. Dr. Meeks discusses the multifaceted aspects of disability identity, centering persons with disability in our language and conversations, and the challenges posed by disclosure.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate the multifaceted aspects of disability identity, considering societal perceptions and personal experiences, to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.
- Differentiate between identity-first and person-first language to foster inclusive and respectful interactions with individuals with disabilities.
- Investigate the prevalence of disabilities among physicians, critically analyzing research findings and recognizing the challenges associated with disclosure, particularly focusing on intersectional factors such as race and gender.
- Explore the intersectionality of disabilities within the healthcare context to gain insights into the unique challenges faced by individuals with multiple marginalized identities.
