Hey #MedStudentTwitter #DisabledDocs does anyone know folks who deal with accommodations request denials? I've got a friend who is struggling mightily who could use some advice. Please DM if you're open to talking or helping me connect with someone, it's pretty time-sensitive!

@CLunsfordMD @MSDCINational @dac_med @AdancOfficial I love it! As a busy intern, I do not have the capacity to dedicate any more time to this but I am very much in favor of this! Anything to help out the #DisabledDocs/#DocsWithDisabilities community!

[Future Docs with Disabilities @Disabled_Docs]

Hello #DocsWithDisabilities / #DisabledDocs! It's been a while. I've been off twitter during a very busy intern year. I'm catching up on messages now and will continue to pair up mentees and mentors. I appreciate your patience!

At the end of my 3rd year of medical school, I learned that I was severely dyslexic. Here is a small piece of my journey in hopes that it can help others. Big shoutout to @medtwitter, @Disabled_Docs, and my entire support system❤️

Thank you to @DocsWith and @meekslisa for giving me the opportunity to share my perspective on being a black male with a fluency disorder in medicine. I strive to be who I needed when I was younger so I hope my perspective can help others as they pursue their goals 🙌🏾🙏🏾

I applied for disability insurance as an intern. All of them turned me down because I am disabled, ignoring that I was in an ACGME residency. They refused, even when I requested terms that it would only apply to any new disability. @DocsWith @Disabled_Docs #DocsWithDisabilities
