| Title | Cultivating Safe, Equitable, and Inclusive Learning Environments: A Framework for Navigating Accommodations Planning for Medical Learners |
| Rationale/Background | Learners seeking accessibility in training require support for safe and robust accommodations planning to successfully develop the essential skills of a physician. Coordinating accommodations in medical education is challenging due to inconsistent policies, sporadic support across training environments, and a lack of understanding of visible and non-visible disabilities (Meeks and Jain, 2018). This workshop will review key legal and equity/inclusion-based frameworks for effective accommodations planning for medical educators considering issues of stigma and self-disclosure. |
| Instructional Methods | In the workshop, an interactive framework will be presented to aid in determining accommodations. Participants will then apply the framework in interactive small group discussions anchored in high-fidelity trainee cases. Participants will then review and discuss in small groups barriers that exist for medical learners seeking accommodations and based on the cases and formulate potential solutions. Participants will then engage in facilitated discussion on how to improve the accommodations process at their local sites towards inclusive and supportive training environments. |
