Beginning this summer and throughout the fall semester, we are working to upgrade the research experience by making ongoing improvements to our Research Guides.
You may encounter changes in the look and feel of the Research Guides website along with structural changes to our existing guides. If you have any questions or concerns about this process please let us know.

Diversity in Medicine: Disability

Welcome! This guide shares resources about disability & ableism for the medical field. It provides information specific to healthcare, as well as general background resources to understand disability & ableism as a whole within society. 

A Disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions). (Source: CDC) 

Ableism is the discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities. (Source: Merriam-Webster)
