Title: ADEPT-CARE: A pilot, student-led initiative to improve care for persons with disabilities via a novel teaching tool Collection II: Integrating disability into health sciences curricula: implementation, recommendations, and the need for disability content in health sciences education Article: "ADEPT-CARE: A pilot, student-led initiative to improve care for persons with disabilities via a novel teaching tool." (2023) Authors: Lydia Smeltz, Sandra Carpenter, Lauren Benedetto, Nora Newcomb, Dana Rubenstein, Tonya King, Christopher Lunsford, and Ami L. DeWaters. 2023. Description: This article describes the student-led development and piloting of a didactic tool intended to assist medical trainees' and providers' capability and confidence when interacting with disabled patients in clinical environments. ADEPT-CARE is a mnemonic for which each letter corresponds to a distinct dimension of clinical process or behavior that experts recommend following when interacting with disabled patients. The tool was introduced to a group of first-year medical students. While their feelings of competence in treating disabled patients did not change after a 15-minute asynchronous video training on the ADEPT-CARE protocol–possibly due to the small sample size–the student participants did endorse the utility of the protocol.
