Disability Advocacy Team

Disability is incredibly common. Most people will, at some point in their life, have a functional limitation and many patients whom physicians serve will have a disability.

The Disability Advocacy Team (DAT)’s mission is to advance the diversity, equity and inclusivity of the current and prospective Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine community by amplifying the experiences of people with disabilities and/or chronic conditions. To accomplish this, the DAT will engage in advocacy, curriculum change (such as in the form of a Vertical Integration Group) and community education. Through these actions, we hope to create a culture that recognizes disability as an essential part of identity, and one in which people of all abilities can thrive.
