Administrators and faculty in medical, nursing and health science
programs are witnessing a substantial increase in the number of
students with disabilities entering their programs. Concurrently,
the benefits of diversity in healthcare are becoming increasingly
apparent and important. Provider-patient concordance is a known
mechanism for reducing health care disparities. By developing a
workforce that mirrors the patient population, we can appropriately
inform disability care, reducing health care disparities while
embracing the tenets of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA),
namely equal opportunity, full participation, independent living,
and economic self-sufficiency for qualified individuals with
disabilities. One in five individuals will experience disability at
some point in their lives, making this the largest minority in the
US. A commitment to disability inclusion for qualified students
should be a high-level goal of nursing, medical, and other health
science programs. To support this goal, leaders in these areas must
develop robust programs and an understanding of the best practices
for inclusion. This first-of-its-kind title is designed to help
deans, program directors, faculty, student affairs personnel and
disability resource professionals thoughtfully plan for the growing
population of health-care professionals with disabilities. The
content helps stakeholders contextualize disability inclusion in
health-care education as a function of social justice and a
mechanism of reducing health care disparities for patients. It
offers pragmatic advice, grounded in research, best practice, and
case law to address the highly nuanced approach to determining and
implementing accommodations in a high-stakes clinical environment.
Disability as Diversity connects the moving parts necessary to
ensure equal access for qualified students and provides a blueprint
for crafting policy, proactive messaging, improving climate,
adhering to accreditation standards, addressing licensing and board
exams, responding to student failure, all while remaining compliant
with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and applicable
Federal regulations. This text provides educators with the
perspectives and skills they need to bring disability inclusion to
the forefront of health education.
