Well-Being Month 2024: Disability as Diversity in Medicine
February 15, 2024
The goal of these activities is to bring awareness to the topic of burnout in healthcare professionals and present strategies to promote resilience that will improve practitioner health and ultimately patient outcomes.
The historical and present state of modern medicine is inextricably linked to ableism and eugenics. Although a ubiquitous feature of the human condition, some view disability as evidence of a personal weakness or moral failing. Stereotypes and stigma around disability have played a role in the current non-inclusion in medicine, where the disabled trail in social determinants of health and health outcomes. The consequences of the prevalent medical model of disability can be witnessed in how our community relates to disability, both between medical professionals and our patients. Efforts are underway to improve disability inclusion among learners and healthcare professionals. We will discuss this history and how we can ensure that we proactively and deliberately chart a new course for a non-ablest future.
