| 英文摘要：The issue: The shift to a more diverse workforce that includes physicians with disabilities has gained considerable international traction. Indeed, disability inclusion is experiencing a renaissance in medical education. However, the philosophy of disability inclusion must be adjusted from one where disabled trainees are viewed as problematic and having to "overcome" disability to one where institutions anticipate and normalize disabled trainees as a normative part of a diverse community. Observations: Most trainees with disabilities will enter an unregulated, uninformed system leaving them vulnerable to under-accommodation, systems barriers, and lack of informed support. The perception of the super human good doctor creates disincentives for candidates to disclose their disability, thus creating a structural impediment that the system needs to address. A less often discussed contributor to healthcare inequities is the inadequate training of health professional educators on disability rights and disability competencies. Indeed, the lack of education, coupled with minimal exposure to disability outside of the hierarchical patient-provider relationship, contributes to stereotypes and biases that impact clinical care. Approach: Disability inclusion has not been reviewed through the lens of quality improvement. To close this gap, we examine the state of the science through the lens of disability inclusion and offer considerations for a quality improvement approach in Medical education that addresses the global revised trilogy of World Federation for Medical Education standards of quality improvement at all three levels of education, training, and practice. |
