Experiences, attitudes, and knowledge of medical students regarding intellectual and developmental disability: a Canadian study
Many Canadian medical students lack the knowledge and skills needed to adequately care for people with IDD. Despite this, a majority of students were interested in further learning opportunities to improve care for people with IDD. These findings underscore the necessity of evaluating the current medical curriculum and implementing measures to better prepare students to care for this population.
