Episode 31, Part 2: Dr. Neera Jain

Doctors with disabilities exist in small, but impactful numbers… How did they navigate their journey?  What were the challenges?  What are the benefits to medicine broadly? to patient care?  What are the opportunities for peer education? …and what are the potential benefits for reducing health care disparities for patients with disabilities?   Join hosts Dr. Lisa Meeks and MDisability Researchers and Physicians as we take a deeper dive into understanding the lived experiences of doctors with disabilities through critical conversations with the doctors, researchers, administrators, faculty and policy makers that work to ensure medicine remains an equal opportunity profession.
