We investigated whether a unique didactic focusing on delivering health care to patients with disabilities (PWDs) impacts medical students' knowledge of specific disabilities and related concerns, attitudes about barriers to this populations' health care, and behavior during typical primary care visits with PWDs. A 90-minute session for students during their third-year family medicine clerkship addressed clinical considerations for patients with mobility and cognitive impairments. Questionnaires were administered to students at the beginning and completion of the clerkship. Analyses of 71 matched questionnaires reveal that knowledge and attitudes were positively impacted.
我们调查了一门专注于为残疾患者提供医疗服务的独特教学课程是否会影响医学生对特定残疾及相关问题的了解、对这一人群医疗保健障碍的态度，以及在与残疾患者进行典型初级保健问诊时的行为。在学生三年级家庭医学实习期间，为他们安排了一场90分钟的课程，内容涉及行动不便和认知障碍患者的临床注意事项。在实习开始和结束时，向学生发放了问卷。对71份匹配问卷的分析表明，知识和态度受到了积极影响。
