Dear Community,
We're thrilled to share some exciting news! We've just launched two brand-new resources on the DocsWithDisabilities website, and we believe they will be valuable additions to your toolkit for advancing disability inclusion in medical education.
- Personal Narratives on Disability in Medical Education: This collection features powerful stories from individuals navigating the landscape of medical education with disabilities. These narratives offer invaluable insights and perspectives, perfect for enhancing understanding and driving meaningful discussions in your classrooms and institutions.
👉 Explore the Personal Narratives here: (https://bit.ly/Personal_Narratives) Navigate to bottom for each category
2. Case Studies for Disability Inclusion in Medical Education: Our new case studies provide real-world examples of successful accommodation implementation in medical education settings. These case studies are designed to help you understand and apply best practices in creating an inclusive environment for all learners.

We need your help to keep these resources growing! What personal narratives or case studies have resonated with you? What do you use in your teaching? Have you written something that others could benefit from? We're crowdsourcing additional content to make these resources as comprehensive and impactful as possible.
Please feel free to share your suggestions!
Thank you for your continued support in fostering disability inclusion in medical education!
