More than ten years have passed since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandated that all employers provide "reasonable accommodations" for employees with disabilities. This mandate applies to medical schools, but no systematic information is available to assess the accommodations provided to medical school faculty with disabilities. This Issue Brief summarizes anecdotal evidence from several medical schools about the experiences of faculty with disabilities, and the barriers they face in establishing and maintaining their careers. It also recommends practical steps medical schools can take to provide a welcoming and accessible academic medical environment.
自《美国残疾人法案》（ADA）强制要求所有雇主为残疾员工提供“合理便利”以来，已经过去了十多年。这项规定适用于医学院，但目前尚无系统信息可用于评估为残疾医学院教师提供的便利措施。本问题简报总结了几所医学院关于残疾教师经历以及他们在建立和维持职业生涯中所面临障碍的轶事性证据。它还建议医学院可以采取的切实可行的步骤，以营造一个友好且无障碍的学术医疗环境。
