Sustaining a spinal cord injury shortly after graduating from medical school gave Okanlami a unique perspective that he is using to help make healthcare more equitable for people with disabilities.

@Okanlami "think about a house built with 4ft ceilings and everyone had to hunch down to get in - that house hasn't been built with you in mind. That's how it feels everyday for the people with disability." #creatingAccess #ACSQSC23 #quality #equity
Stay tuned to learn more about this work with @DanaFeldman_ and @bsack0330
Left handedness in surgery is just ONE example of a group that has lacked formal access and inclusion. People fear disclosure and are often forced to assimilate… sound familiar?

Honored to hear Dr Okanlami (@Okanlami) speak as the A Todd Davis Lecture guest
Dr Davis was a mentor, gentle soul, & exemplary pediatrician
And Dr Okanlami is a wonderful guest to shape his legacy
Dr. @Okanlami was in his residency when he sustained a spinal cord injury. He explains his catchphrase “#DisabusingDisability” and talks about how paralysis changed his perspective on disability, medical education, physicians, and patients.
