A number of books have been published by various organizations and publishing houses alike since the early 2000s which are practical guides aimed at stakeholders housed at medical science institutions on how to effectively engage with and accommodate disabled students. Similarly, several podcasts and informative videos have also been resealed to help pave the way to inclusion. When we speak of organizations, a number of them have been created to advocate for doctors with disabilities and equal access to medical studies instruction and clinical practice. But it seems that in the case of books, there is a dearth of material addressed to the students themselves, giving them the tools for advocacy and the empowerment of asking for accommodations. As we will see, there is just one such book which was published in 2018. For organizations, while some of these organizations are made by and for disabled doctors and function on the principle of rights based advocacy and holistic change, there are others which are still operating on providing services on an as needed basis which comes to show that there is still a long way to go in making sure that doctors with disabilities are given equal opportunities and access at all times.Hence, even though a lot is being done to advocate for doctors with disabilities, these contradictions beg us to question the pace at which inclusion is being carried out and how effective it is holistically.
