  1. Introduction  Absence of disability training for healthcare providers prevents appropriate and effective health care for patients with disabilities  Healthcare providers are untrained and uncomfortable  90% general practitioners found it difficult to provide quality care to patients with IDD  Curriculum to teach medical students how to care for patients with ASD

  2. Methods  Required rotation for all 3 rd year medical students at Ohio State University  Instructional elements: didactic instruction, patient exams, standardized patient encounters, and panel discussions  Students completed online survey  ten closed-ended questions  two questions about quality and satisfaction with the panel experience  100-250 word reflection

  4. Med Student Comments  [S05] emphasized that “ Some of their insights they shared could not be learned from a book and if it was not for this workshop, we would probably have never learned them.”  [S22] reported “H aving individuals and families come in to tell their personal stories (rather than giving it in the form of a lecture) helped make it stick.” Conclusions  Disability education results in positive changes in students’ knowledge, confidence and competence.  The learning experience has provided students with a family perspective on caring for patients with disabilities.

  5. Discussion  Including patients with disabilities can address LCME goals of cultural competence, diversity, and caring for the vulnerable and underserved.  Dissemination efforts are needed to further promote disability in medical education.  Future research should explore the long term impact of disability training on future practitioners. .
