Abstract

People with disabilities are considered a historically marginalized population that experiences significant health disparities resulting from the unequal distribution of resources as evidenced in the social determinants of health. Health professions education presents an opportunity to explore the policy, systems, and environmental changes that are needed to improve social conditions and address known disparities for people with disabilities. Evidence suggests that inclusion of learners with diverse lived experiences, including students with disabilities, strengthens our understanding of the influence of social determinants on health and our ability to address known barriers. Unfortunately, people with disabilities and other minoritized individuals are grossly underrepresented in physical therapy. It is imperative that doctor of physical therapy (DPT) education more intentionally promotes the full inclusion of students with disabilities to improve representation and to better support the complex needs of this population. In this perspective, we describe key social determinants of health for people with disabilities, offer strategies for increasing representation and inclusion of students with disabilities in DPT education, and summarize how the inclusion of students with disabilities in DPT education can enhance our understanding of and ability to address social barriers for this population.

在边缘工作:残疾人融入社会的潜力尚未开发。
残疾人(PWD)被认为是历史上被边缘化的人群,他们的健康状况因资源分配不均而存在显著差异,这一点在健康的社会决定因素中得到了证明。卫生专业教育提供了一个探索政策、系统和环境(PSE)变革的机会,这些变革是改善社会条件和解决已知的残疾人差异问题所必需的。有证据表明,将具有不同生活经历的学习者(包括残疾学生)纳入其中,可以加强我们对社会决定因素对健康影响的理解,并提高我们解决已知障碍的能力。遗憾的是,残疾人和其他少数群体在物理治疗领域的代表性严重不足。当务之急是,物理治疗博士(DPT)教育应更有意识地促进社会弱势群体的全面融入,以提高其代表性并更好地支持这一群体的复杂需求。在本视角中,我们描述了影响残疾人健康的主要社会决定因素,提出了增加社会弱势群体在 DPT 教育中的代表性和包容性的策略,并总结了将社会弱势群体纳入 DPT 教育如何能够增强我们对这一人群的社会障碍的理解和解决这些障碍的能力。
