ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub Official Launch

Title ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub: Official Launch Original Air Date January 20, 2025 Description The transition from undergraduate medical education (UME) into residency and fellowship represents a critical—and often vulnerable—period for learners with disabilities. Despite increasing attention to disability in medical education, persistent structural gaps, inconsistent policies, and limited professional development opportunities continue to leave many learners unsupported as they move through graduate medical education (GME) and into practice. This launch event introduces the ACGME–Docs with Disabilities Disability Resource Hub, a centralized, open-access platform designed to advance disability inclusion across the UME–GME continuum. Developed through a collaboration between the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the Docs with Disabilities Initiative (DWDI), and funded in part by a Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award for Transformation in Graduate Medical Education, the Hub provides practical guidance, tools, and evidence-informed resources to support accessible, compliant, and inclusive learning environments. Learning Objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Describe the purpose of the ACGME–Docs with Disabilities Disability Resource Hub and its role in advancing disability inclusion across UME and GME. Navigate the Hub to locate key resources related to policy development, accommodations, and learner support. Identify strategies for integrating the Hub into individual and institutional professional development efforts to strengthen accessibility across medical education. Panelists Lisa M.
