🌟 Medical Students with Disabilities: Breaking Barriers & Adding Value

Being a med student is tough.

Being a med student with a disability is tougher.

#Disability doesn’t mean inability. It means resilience and perspective that enriches patient care.

DYK that individuals who are blind or visually impaired often face significant barriers when accessing healthcare?

Healthcare providers need to prioritize practices that ensure accessible services for everyone.

This includes accessible info and telehealth.

Absolutely!

They have very owners policy that makes it nearly impossible. I am not sure of the reason.

That’s what I thought!

I wanted to love Hawaii.

But they won’t let me bring my service dog.

Just talked to the Creighton residents about Psychological Safety and how it relates to #Disability in Medicine!

We need to have more conversations like this to break down the toxic "culture of strength" in #MedEd!

Curious, whether it happens to you all the time too?

⚠️ Rideshare service denial (again) ⚠️

It's dangerously cold, so I scheduled a rideshare instead of walking home. Made a note in my reservation that I have a service animal.

Waited 20 minutes. Driver would not let me in b/c of my dog and became hostile.

Walked home.

Not OK.

I will curate a list and share!

Maybe we should all write a book telling our story!

These are now on my Audible Wish List!

Awesome! Thank you! Adding it to my list!

This is the #1 rec so far!!

Very cool. It's interesting that they chose to make it a temporary disability, however.

Yeah, that's a step up from disparaging representation but still not it!

Nice! This seems to be a popular pick!

You're the 2nd person to recommend that! I am going to check it out!

Thank you!

I love all of your book recommendations!

Seeing as I’ve recently gotten you into fantasy…Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and Graceling by Kristin Cashore!

This is exactly what I was hoping for!! This is why social media is so great! Brilliant people are doing incredible things!

📖 🎧 📚
In literature, people with disabilities often fit into these tropes.

1) An oracle or sage
2) A villain
3) A pitiable figure

Rarely are they developed characters with depth.

Any book recommendations where a protagonist has a #Disability and doesn't fit these tropes??

Reminder to clear your sidewalks.

People with disabilities often rely on safe walkways for transportation.

Sometimes, people are surprised when they see me present.

How can I present a powerpoint and be #Blind?

Here's what I have to do:
1) Memorize the order of my slides or use large marker images
2) Memorize each slide
3) Hope my slide count isn't off 😓

It really is such a competitive process! For good reason too 😊

🐶 1 year with a puppy raiser
🏫 1 year at an accredited school
