impact medical students’ attitudes, knowledge, and/or skills to address underlying ableism and address how future physicians think about disability.
NICHE-MED awards Medical School Partners a $15,000 grant to implement curriculum enhancements that address gaps in medical education regarding patients with IDD. AADMD believes it is essential to include self-advocates with IDD in curriculum efforts. Schools should be prepared to work with community partner(s) to ensure meaningful inclusion of self-advocates in curriculum development and delivery. Medical School Partners get access to technical assistance from AADMD to ensure project success.
