Health care education programs, regardless of the discipline, will face similar challenges and issues related to students with disabilities. These are likely to include issues related to admission, retention, and academic adjustments, auxiliary aids, and services. A review of the literature reveals limited information beyond medical and nursing education programs, although students with disabilities are enrolled in education programs in other health care disciplines. Recent research indicates that students with disabilities are enrolling in health care education programs with increasing frequency. Educators and administrators will benefit from a better understanding of disability law and how it impacts education programs. Further, this knowledge should allow health care educators to be more proactive in regard to students with disabilities and to maintain a greater degree of autonomy over their respective programs. This report reviews pertinent legislation and case law as it applies to students with disabilities in health care education.
无论学科如何，医疗保健教育项目都将面临与残疾学生相关的类似挑战和问题。这些问题可能包括与录取、留校和学业调整、辅助设备及服务相关的问题。尽管残疾学生也在其他医疗保健学科的教育项目中就读，但对文献的回顾显示，除了医学和护理教育项目之外，相关信息有限。最近的研究表明，残疾学生越来越频繁地注册参加医疗保健教育项目。教育工作者和管理人员将从更好地理解残疾法律及其对教育项目的影响中受益。此外，这些知识应使医疗保健教育工作者在对待残疾学生方面更加积极主动，并在各自的项目中保持更大程度的自主权。本报告回顾了适用于医疗保健教育中残疾学生的相关立法和判例法。
