    Today we mourn the incredible loss of @judithheumann a mentor and light for so many. We challenge YOU to create access and advocate for disability inclusion in her honor. Get involved, educate yourself. We are all responsible for access. #AllHuemannsForAccess #AccessIsLove

She made significant contributions to the development of human rights legislation and policies benefiting children and adults with disabilities.

    Remember that hashtags are significantly more accessible for those who use screen readers, have learning disabilities, experience brain fog and more when every new word is capitalized. Thats why we say #DocsWithDisabilities and not "#docswithdisabilities."

    Release from overnight call in residency is a reasonable accommodation under the ADA w/ few exceptions (e.g., program size and necessity of overnights to the speciality (surgery and ObGyn). In large internal medicine residencies, this is almost always reasonable.

    Together, we have created a movement. Since 2018, we've tweeted 40K times. In April, the #DocsWithDisabilities hashtag left 2.6 million impressions. Most importantly, we created a space for people to connect, share their experiences, research and build community. Thank you 🤍

    Dr. @ChaseTMAnderson and guest host @jbullockruns discuss being doctors at the #intersection of #MultiplyMarginalized identities, finding strength in community, and their hope to make #MedEd a more magical place✨🧡 Listen or read along: bit.ly/Ep65ChaseAnder…
    Blue infographic with photo of Chase Anderson on the left. #DocsWithDisabilities in black text within a white box. Text: Episode 65. Quote, “‘How is intersectionality protective? How can it be a beautiful support system for people?’ [To Justin] We are both black and gay and we get to interact in a way that nobody else can ….. I think that's why intersectionality can be beautiful. These are extra pieces to somebody that can enhance who they are and create this whole person who is a tapestry in some ways."
