Disability in Medicine:
Why We Need More Disabled Physicians
Presenter: Lisa M. Meeks, PhD, MA, University of Michigan
Session Date & Time: September 19, 2024 at 12:00 PM EDT
Session Description: In this session Dr. Meeks will discuss how all faculty and students need to look at how (and how much) the system can be reformed, and how some areas may not have as much give. How do we help students navigate these areas? Is there a way to help instill resilience or guide students to self-identify resilient qualities that will assist them as they move through medical education? Are there unique ways we can alter the system to help students, and are there other adjustments to think about to help students in this new age?
