Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the podcast, we welcome medical student Elizabeth "Biz" Barker, and Dr. Melissa Houser, who is also the executive director of the non-profit All Brains Belong VT. Dr. Houser also sits on the CDCI Community Advisory Council.
Both physicians identify as having a disability, and Dr. Houser also has a family member with a disability. They're here to talk about ableism in the medical system, and how it begins in medical school: how we expect learners to perform as they learn medicine has a huge impact on keeping ableism going in healthcare.
