Factors associated with declaration of disability in medical students and junior doctors, and the association of declared disability with academic performance: observational study using data from the UK Medical Education Database, 2002-2018 (UKMED54)
Conclusions Substantial increases in declaration of SLD may reflect changes in the social and legal environment during the period of the study. Those who declare SLD are just as likely to gain a primary medical qualification as those who do not. For some individuals, disability declaration appears to depend on context, based on differences in numbers declaring SLD before, during and after medical school.

Measuring differential attainment: a longitudinal analysis of assessment results for 1512 medical students at four Scottish medical schools
Conclusions The tendency for attainment gaps to grow during undergraduate medical education suggests that educational factors at medical schools may—however inadvertently—contribute to DA. It is of critical importance that medical schools investigate attainment gaps within their cohorts and explore potential underlying causes.

Weight-Bearing Physical Activity Influences the Effect of Vitamin D on Bone Turnover Markers in Patients with Intellectual Disability.
CONCLUSIONS: Although high-dose vitamin D appeared to suppress osteoclast activity in NWB adults with IDs, the increase in serum CTX levels in those with LWB activity implies activation of osteoclasts that could exacerbate their unique low bone mass and increase fracture risk. The results support the use of a lower-dose vitamin D regimen in this patient group with LWB. PMID: 31375839 [PubMed - in process]

Global medical education partnerships to expand specialty expertise: a case report on building neurology clinical and research capacity
Conclusion: Models such as the Makerere University College of Health Sciences - Case Western Reserve University partnership may help other groups initiate collaborative education programmes and establish successful partnerships that may provide the opportunity to expand to other chronic diseases. A benefit of collaboration is that learning is two-directional, and interaction with other international medical education collaborators is likely to be of benefit to the larger global health community.

Inclusive medical education for students with disabilities: a new guidance document from Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand
N Z Med J. 2023 May 12;136(1575):65-71.ABSTRACTThis paper outlines: 1) the work undertaken by Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand (MDANZ) to review and update its 2017 guidelines related to selecting and supporting students with disabilities, and 2) the resulting new recommendations. The review group considered common approaches to supporting medical students with a disability through an inclusive, strengths-based lens. The outcome was a guidance document that centres the importance of a strengths-based and inclusive culture within medical schools, and emphasises an individualised, context-specific and inclusive approa...
