Relevant citations from the literature and case law are provided.

How do the meetings work?
Each meeting is facilitated by experienced disability resource professionals who will guide the group through a health science education case study.
The goal of the book club is to empower disability resource providers (DRP's) who work with students in the health professions to learn about best practices in an engaging and applicable format.
RSVPs are required for each meeting. The first meeting is on January 26th, 2023.

Meetings will be held virtually via Zoom and captioning will be provided for each meeting.
