Description
Individuals with disabilities comprise over a quarter of the U.S. population and are regularly cared for by clinicians in all specialties and settings. Inclusive Care for Patients With Disabilities: A Practical Guide, edited by Drs. Dorothy W. Tolchin and Claire Rushin, who launched Harvard Medical School’s robust disability curriculum, helps medical students, residents, fellows, physicians, and advanced practitioners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to provide welcoming, accessible care for patients with disabilities. This full-color manual is a unique and valuable resource for study or for use at the point of care, providing authoritative guidance to approaching the clinical encounter and beyond. The book is authored by a team of interdisciplinary medical providers, medical students, and self-advocates to provide targeted stakeholder-engaged content appropriate for providers at any stage of training and practice.
