Medical student preparedness to address healthcare disparities among individuals with disabilities: An analysis of the Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance Survey 2020
The study preliminarily highlights the need for a standardized disability-focused curriculum in medical education. Incorporating structured didactic and experiential learning opportunities may improve medical student preparedness to care for PWD. Further research with larger, representative samples is needed to inform the development of standardized disability curricula.
