Needs Statement
There is a critical gap in medical education regarding the care of individuals with disabilities, with national curriculum standards lacking specific training, leading to a shortage of physicians prepared to address the unique needs of this population. Medical students report inadequate education in this area, resulting in uncertainty in performing key clinical tasks and navigating care for patients with disabilities. Additionally, negative attitudes among experienced providers pose a significant barrier to quality care. To address these issues, an ECHO-style series will provide virtual sessions focused on improving provider knowledge and willingness to care for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) through expert-led lectures and case discussions, equipping primary care teams with practical strategies to enhance care delivery.
Target Audience
Practicing physicians (internal medicine, pediatrics, family medicine), nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers seeing individuals with IDD in the community
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to:
- Develop strategies to support patient navigation and care coordination for the IDD population throughout the lifespan.
- Describe some common co-occurring conditions related to the more common intellectual/ developmental diagnoses (IDD) such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and spina bifida.
- Explore the intersectionality of social determinants of health and intellectual/developmental disability.
Educational Methods
Lecture, Case Study, and ECHO.
Activity Evaluation
Evaluation by questionnaire will address program content, presentation, and possible bias.
