Assessing knowledge about the Americans with Disabilities Act and comfort level in treating persons with disabilities among fourth‐year medical students following a clerkship in physical medicine and rehabilitation

These findings highlight the importance of disability education as part of medical school curricula to improve medical student knowledge about physician responsibilities under the ADA and overall comfort level in caring for persons with disability. Further studies are needed to determine if these results carry over into clinical practice to combat the health care disparities experienced by persons with disabilities.
