The American Medical Association (AMA) has announced a collaboration with the University of Colorado Anschutz on a new educational video series to help physicians and medical students provide high-quality, patient-centred care for People with Determination.
The Caring for People with Disabilities Series is free and available on AMA Ed Hub, AMA’s online learning platform. The series gives healthcare professionals practical guidance, real-world strategies, and proven tools to meet the unique needs of patients with diverse disabilities.
The AMA aims to advance accessible, inclusive medical care and improve health outcomes for all people – including patients with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.
AMA President Bobby Mukkamala, said: “This new video series addresses that challenge directly, and gives physicians and medical students practical tools to better understand their patients’ needs and improve access to care.”
The video series offers free opportunities to earn continuing medical education (CME) credit. Each module in the series is under 30 minutes and accompanied by searchable transcripts.
The first five modules in the series are available now. Additional modules will be added to the series later this year.
