The Access in Medicine (AIM) Summit, held in April 2024, convened 60 delegates from across the United States to generate practicable solutions for dismantling accessibility barriers in medical education. These proceedings outline the Summit's objectives and present the resulting insights and actionable recommendations. The Summit featured an innovative design that engaged diverse delegates in collaborative, idea-generating activities that elevated the lived experiences of learners with disabilities. Inspired by guiding principles of social justice and accessibility, delegates recommended a bundle of action-oriented strategies for addressing social and structural barriers to disability equity and inclusion. The proposed action steps identified critical intervention points that span the continuum of undergraduate medical education, from improving support of disabled learners in recruitment and admissions processes through to their residency application and postgraduation transition stages. Though medical education was the AIM Summit focus, delegates emphasized the generalizability of themes to broad training contexts (e.g., residency and other health professions education training), both in the sociostructural challenges they confronted and in the solutions they proposed. These proceedings highlight the vital steps necessary to build more equitable and inclusive learning environments for learners with disabilities.
2024年4月举行的医学准入（AIM）峰会召集了来自美国各地的60名代表，以制定切实可行的解决方案，消除医学教育中的无障碍障碍。这些会议记录概述了峰会的目标，并展示了由此产生的见解和可行建议。峰会采用了创新设计，让不同的代表参与协作式的创意生成活动，提升了残疾学习者的生活体验。受社会正义和无障碍指导原则的启发，代表们推荐了一系列以行动为导向的策略，以解决残疾公平和包容方面的社会和结构性障碍。拟议的行动步骤确定了关键干预点，这些干预点贯穿本科医学教育的全过程，从在招生过程中改善对残疾学习者的支持，到他们的住院医师申请和毕业后过渡阶段。尽管医学教育是AIM峰会的重点，但代表们强调，无论是在他们面临的社会结构挑战方面，还是在他们提出的解决方案方面，这些主题都可推广到广泛的培训背景（如住院医师培训和其他卫生专业教育培训）。这些会议记录突出了为残疾学习者建设更公平、更包容的学习环境所需的关键步骤。
