Description:

This is a story about what happens when everything goes well and when creativity and a can do attitude lead the discussion. Today, we are talking with a team of OB-GYN clerkship, residency and clinical leaders from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, and Theresa Papich, a 4th year medical school student who is a wheelchair user. Throughout our conversation we discuss the accommodations employed to create equal access and the lessons learned along the way.  Most importantly we’ll talk with Theresa about how this experience felt for her and what she believes schools can do to improve access for learners with disabilities.
