Abstract

Abstract: Medical students with disabilities (MSWD) report higher rates of distress and burnout when compared to their non-disabled peers as they navigate the challenges of medical education. However, cultivating a sense of belonging and creating safe spaces in which there is acceptance of the authentic self has been associated with improvements in these outcomes. This commentary explores the role of student-led disability organizations in promoting belonging through the development of community, offering mentorship, creating opportunities for leadership, sharing resources, and advancing anti-ableism. While these organizations are a powerful tool to advance inclusion, institutional accountability also remains critical. The authors offer strategies in which institutions can partner with MSWDs to further promote inclusion. These include: 1) collecting accurate and comprehensive data on the experiences of MSWDs, 2) reviewing and reforming policies that exclude or disadvantage MSWDs, and 3) supporting student-led disability organizations.

残障医学生学术医学归属感的批判性
摘要:在应对医学教育的挑战时,残疾医学生(MSWD)报告的痛苦和倦怠率高于非残疾同龄人。然而,培养归属感和创造安全空间,让人们接受真实的自我,与这些结果的改善有关。这篇评论探讨了学生领导的残疾组织在通过社区发展促进归属感、提供指导、创造领导机会、共享资源和推进反残疾歧视方面的作用。虽然这些组织是促进包容的有力工具,但机构问责制也至关重要。作者提出了一些策略,让机构可以与城市社会福利机构合作,进一步促进共融。这些措施包括:1)收集准确和全面的残障人士经验数据;2)检讨和改革排斥或不利于残障人士的政策;3)支持由学生领导的残障团体。
