The mission of DAC Med is to create a culture of inclusion for disability in medicine at UW SMPH and beyond that is:
Inclusive in teaching how to be a culturally competent provider for patients with different types of disabilities,
Informative in communicating how trainees can be involved in combating ableism in medicine and medical education,
Supportive of existing and future providers with disability in medicine
The goal of DAC Med is to utilize an interdisciplinary trainee-led taskforce to sustainably dismantle ableism in healthcare from both the patient and provider lenses.
