AHEAD FALL 2021: Emerging Practices in Health Science Education Disability Access
Hours: 1.5
| Presented by ASSOCIATION ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND DISABILITY (AHEAD). Please email kkamm@austincc.edu after the webinar to confirm attendance for PD credit. Disability access within Health Professions Education (HPE) is rapidly evolving, and the number of students with disabilities matriculating into health professions programs is increasing. Appropriately, professional associations, accrediting bodies, and researchers are releasing new guidance and regulations, and are shoring up their commitment to disability as a critical component of diversity in HPE. Four emerging practices will be covered in this panel format webinar including: remote real-time captioning in health sciences, various structures of disability offices for HPE, dismantling accommodations decisions by committee, and integrating universal design in HPE assessment. New resources will be shared with the audience, with 30 minutes reserved for a robust Q&A. |
