Work with psychological services to support self‐advocacy in the health professions

Self‐advocacy skills are important for individuals with disabilities and crucial for those who plan to enter health professions education. Although positive changes are occurring, some resistance in health professions education persists surrounding full inclusion of individuals with disabilities. As our students navigate this shifting culture, they will encounter leaders who are well‐versed in disability rights and those who are not informed. It is in interactions with the latter where self‐advocacy is most crucial.
