Abstract
- Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for learners with disabilities needs to be a focus within pharmacy education. Including students with disabilities enhances program diversity and contributes to awareness and understanding of disability. Barriers to embracing disability include stigma toward disability, insufficient resource allocation, and misunderstanding of accommodations. Steps that need to be taken to embrace disability include evaluation of current programmatic culture, provision of education, and collaboration with external stakeholders. Schools/colleges of pharmacy must move toward a framework that embraces disability within our programs.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Published by Elsevier Inc.)
