The following are excerpts from a press release issued by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education on January 23, 2024:
The ACGME, in partnership with the Docs with Disabilities Initiative (DWDI), is a recipient of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award for Transformation in Graduate Medical Education for their project, Multimedia Resource Hub for Disability Inclusion in Graduate Medical Education. The aim of the project is to support education and enhance disability inclusion, learner safety, and accessibility in the clinical learning environment for residents and fellows.
The Multimedia Resource Hub for Disability Inclusion in Graduate Medical Education will be added to the content portfolio available on the ACGME’s distance learning portal, Learn at ACGME. The ACGME Equity Matters® program supports the development of innovative resources that increase workforce diversity, encourage adoption of equity practices, and foster inclusive learning environments.
Calls for community involvement and inclusion in the hub will be forthcoming.
