Medical education often operates within rigid structures, valuing uniformity and efficiency over individuality and lived experience. For disabled medical students and doctors, our structures of education perpetuate ableist norms and often silence those that challenge established ideas of what it means to belong in medicine.

This Access in Medicine video explores the main categories of disability commonly disclosed in medical education. Designed for Disability Resource Professionals, faculty, and institutional leaders, the video demonstrates: -Common disability categories seen in health professions education -Types of documentation students may provide to support accommodation requests -Examples of accommodations frequently used to promote equitable access

This talk explores a critical but often overlooked component of educational accessibility: transcript accuracy in pre-recorded lectures.

Designed for faculty and academic administrators, this module provides a clear overview of the faculty role in informing and implementing accommodations for students with disabilities.
