Title
Books Advocating For Doctors with Disabilities
Description
There are a number of books published to advocate for doctors with disabilities but we see that there is a dearth of material addressed to the students themselves, giving them the tools for advocacy and the empowerment of asking for accommodations. As we will see, there is just one such book which was published in 2018. For other books, we see some good work being done directed towards medical school administrations but again this work is vague and begs to question how effective it is in creating actual change.
