Abstract

Abstract: To create and sustain a thriving physician workforce capable of providing the highest quality medical care to the United States population, educational and healthcare institutions must transform narratives about disability and eliminate structural ableism from their policies and practices. By creating inclusive educational and healthcare environments that welcome and support people with disabilities in medicine, these institutions can improve learning and workplace experiences for all students and physicians, ultimately improving patient care. To do so will require reframing the concept of disability, shifting toward a socio-ecological understanding of what enables or limits an individual's ability to practice medicine, and recognizing that every student and physician benefits when medical education is designed to support a diverse range of learners. Eliminating structural ableism as it manifests in national and organizational policies and practices similarly holds promise for improving the diversity, vitality, and sustainability of the healthcare workforce. This commentary, authored by leaders from the American Medical Association, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and Association of American Medical Colleges, along with students and physicians who support these organizations' efforts to combat ableism in medicine, offers both conceptual and practical recommendations for transforming the narratives and structural factors that currently hinder progress toward creating and sustaining a thriving physician workforce.

重塑残疾:专业组织在促进残疾医生包容方面的作用。
摘要:为了创造和维持一支能够为美国人口提供最高质量医疗服务的蓬勃发展的医生队伍,教育和医疗机构必须改变关于残疾的叙述,并从其政策和实践中消除结构性残疾歧视。通过创建包容的教育和医疗环境,欢迎和支持医学领域的残疾人,这些机构可以改善所有学生和医生的学习和工作体验,最终改善患者护理。要做到这一点,就需要重新定义残疾的概念,转向对个人行医能力的社会生态学理解,并认识到,当医学教育旨在支持各种各样的学习者时,每个学生和医生都会受益。消除体现在国家和组织政策和实践中的结构性残疾歧视同样有望改善医疗保健工作人员的多样性、活力和可持续性。这篇评论由美国医学协会、研究生医学教育认证委员会和美国医学院协会的领导人以及支持这些组织努力打击医学残疾歧视的学生和医生共同撰写,为改变目前阻碍创造和维持蓬勃发展的医生队伍的叙述和结构性因素提供了概念性和实际性的建议。
