摘要
Medical students receive very little instruction related to caring for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. As a result, medical students and physicians alike report low levels of confidence in their ability to provide care to this population. In this piece, I provide a medical student's perspective on how to implement changes in the medical school curriculum such that our future physicians are more prepared to provide care to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
