This presentation explores disability as a vital component of diversity in
healthcare education and practice. We examine how ableism impacts patient
care and medical education, while highlighting the value healthcare
professionals with disabilities bring to medicine. Through the lens of the
Stanford Alliance for Disability Inclusion and Equity (SMADIE), participants
will learn practical approaches to creating more inclusive medical
environments that benefit all patients and providers. The session emphasizes
disability as a form of diversity that enriches healthcare through multiple
perspectives and experiences.

Learning Objectives:

1.	Recognize Ableism in Healthcare: Identify common manifestations of
ableism in healthcare settings and their impact on patient outcomes.
2.	Implement Inclusive Practices: Apply specific strategies to create
more accessible and equitable healthcare environments for patients and
providers with disabilities.
3.	Advance Representation: Describe the unique value and perspective
that healthcare professionals with disabilities bring to patient care and
medical education.
