How do you overcome the obstacles in providing quality healthcare to individuals with disabilities? Dr. Samantha Stallkamp, PGY-1 at the University of Rochester Neurology, shares her journey inspired by her sister with spina bifida and her mother with multiple sclerosis. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how personal experiences fuel professional aspirations and advocacy.
We discuss a shocking reality: only 40.7% of surveyed physicians felt ready to provide equitable care. Samantha brings forth the concept of the "adaptionary," a transformative video encyclopedia designed to teach adaptive medical techniques to healthcare providers for patients with disabilities. We also highlight the power of interprofessional education and collaboration in improving healthcare for disabled individuals.
