    T1 #meded I have worked with both types of #medstudents with disabilities....the invisible and the apparent. Both present challenges about how to best help them succeed in their quest to become physicians.

    T1 : sadly it has been after the learner has struggled. The experience, though, also provided the opportunity to offer help, outline resources, and promotion of #physicianwellness #meded

  • GLBDallaghan Apr 19 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    T1 #meded I understand how they are enhancing the field....but how do you best help them overcome #stigma of opening up about the disability? Some students I've worked with stay silent until their academic performance puts them in jeopardy.

  • cpparis1 Apr 19 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    T1 #MedEd Education of students faculty and staff is key to normalizing the opportunities for students from all backgrounds to receive an education. If the school can partner with the other offices to promote disability as a part of who a person is, The stigma may be reduced.

    T1 #MedEd Also, consulting with others to ensure full accessibility will decrease the need although it may not eliminate the need for those with disabilities visible or invisible to disclose

  • GLBDallaghan Apr 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    T1 #meded How can we as educators know how best to help #medstudents if our own disability office isn't transparent about the needs? It almost creates an artificial umbrella of shame (maybe not best word choice) about acknowledging the disability.

    T1: Working with medical learners who are veterans, many have invisible disabilities associated with their service. I’ve learned remaining open & nonjudgmental is key. Learners may not disclose their disabilities right away...being a trusted person lets them know it’s ok! #MedEd
    In reply to @MedEdChat
  • Alliance4ClinEd Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    T1 #meded Do you think that would be helpful? Many of the #medstudents I've worked with have unique cases and policies have to be left really broad to allow for individual attention.
    In reply to @hcpdisabilities
  • fullerenes Apr 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    T1 #meded. Agreed! As a med student (& co-founder of @msan_uoft) it's also so important to ensure the process of disclosing & accessing support is transparent & easy to access. Sometimes students don't know what's out there re: accommodations — especially in clinical settings.

    #MedEd thinking outside of the box is crucial. As disability service providers we don’t always have the answer; we count on you and your expertise in your field to work together with us to ensure all students — with or without disabilities have access to their education
    In reply to @GLBDallaghan, @MedEdChat
  • GLBDallaghan Apr 19 @ 9:27 PM EDT
    T2 #meded I recently had a conversation with a student & bluntly asked about the invisible disability. I prefaced by letting the student know it was none of my business....but was wanting to ensure the med school was providing the best accommodations.

    Transparency is great but ideally schools would follow one best practice and a uniform approach to serving #Students and #DocsWithDisabilities so that learners are assured #EqualAccess in all #MedEd programs!

    A well-qualified DS provider balances #NeedToKnow with #Privacy focusing on functional limitations and barriers-not labels or Dx. This should be a team approach to #Access in #MedEd

  • cpparis1 Apr 19 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    T2 #MedEd in doing this it’s very important to be sure and offer the student a variety of resources not just disability services and also to focus on the students behavior for example
    In reply to @GLBDallaghan, @MedEdChat
  • cpparis1 Apr 19 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    #MedEd—you may ask the student about an observable behavior like loss of focus and mention both counseling and disability services, or seemingly under performance—in that case you may refer the student to tutoring as well as counseling and disability services.
    In reply to @GLBDallaghan, @MedEdChat
  • Okanlami Apr 19 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    I agree. In #meded I try to normalize in all convos I have rather than making them feel “different” again. Support will be specific to each student, but letting them know that all students may require various levels & types of support is important
    In reply to @cpparis1, @MedEdChat
  • GLBDallaghan Apr 19 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    T2 #meded Completely agree. It was a helpful conversation. I think the student felt the Dean's office was truly there to help after that conversation.
    In reply to @cpparis1, @MedEdChat
  • fullerenes Apr 19 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    Informal support for med trainees with disabilities comes in many forms — some of the most powerful were when clinical preceptors disclosed their own experience with disability or illness to me. The clinical hierarchy breaks down, leaving shared lived experience (T2) #meded
  • Doctoklahoma Apr 19 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    T2: #meded Not an approach, but a comment. I’ve been accused of being lazy/non-engaged as a med student when needing to occasionally sit. Never sat during rounds, only those “standing around” times. Because I’m “too young to be tired.” (Not tired, just need to sit for 2 minutes)
    In reply to @MedEdChat
  • MeeksLisa Apr 19 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    A well-qualified #MedEd DS provider is an essential member of the team and isn’t guessing. They are adjusting, adapting and innovating-all qualifications to serve in this role. Are there PD dollars to train? Are they included in the team?

  • StacyCJones Apr 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    #MedEd As a student with a disability who hasn’t always been provided the best accommodations, I’ve benefitted from attendings focusing on collaboratively problem solving specific clinical tasks I struggled in. I appreciated not having to disclose my disability in these cases.
    In reply to @GLBDallaghan, @MedEdChat
  • cpparis1 Apr 19 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    #MedEd “ disabled by their environment“ refers to the point that a student may have a particular impairment but this does not have to be disabling, if all environments or as many as possible are fully accessible Or as accessible as possible

    In this video, Jacques Pepin talks about trying to achieve a uniform outcome, but the process can be unique each time - feels like that with disabilities, too: we need to agree on uniform outcomes, and figure out unique approaches for each student. #meded https://t.co/HC8LfnN39b
