The World Institute on Disability announces a new training video and curriculum for medical providers: Access to Medical Care: Adults with Physical Disabilities a 22 minute video about mobility, vision, hearing and communication impairment in outpatient settings “Full of practical, meaty information, this program demystifies disability, emphasizes that ‘disability’ is not ‘illness.’ The central theme is that the outward manifestations of disability do not mean that there is a diminution of human capacity. . . Powerful and instructive . .” Dr. Robert Master, Commonwealth Care Alliance, Boston. Access to Medical Care: Adults with Physical Disabilities, a 22 minute video offers physicians, dentists, nurses, social service and support staff, an introduction to crucial issues that affect the quality of care for patients with disabilities.
