Project Description:

We believe that imbedding disability objectives and activities in the new Lead.Serve.Inspire medical curriculum will ensure the success and longevity of this project. We recruited dedicated volunteers to build lasting partnerships toward improved healthcare for people with disabilities. We communicated with community sites that provide services to people with disabilities for medical students to visit or volunteer.
