Collection I. Episode 2. "Disability and the Training of Health Professionals" by Tom Shakespare, Lisa I. Iezzoni, and Nora E. Groce

In Episode two we review the thought provoking commentary: "Disability and the Training of Health Professionals" by Tom Shakespare, Lisa I. Iezzoni, and Nora E. Groce (Lancet, 2009). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(09)62050-X. The authors argue that equitable treatment of disabled patients is an issue of human rights that can only be achieved by improving disability education in health sciences education. They write that the topic of disability must be increased across the health sciences, from educational training to infrastructural adjustments and the representation of people with disabilities among health sciences professionals and students.
