The integration of disability education into medical school curricula has gained traction as a means to address healthcare disparities experienced by people with disabilities. However, current educational frameworks often neglect the critical aspect of physical accessibility in medical education spaces. This viewpoint explores the distinct need for enhanced education on physical accessibility—such as the implementation of ramps, automatic doors, and Braille signs—in medical schools. Drawing from existing literature, we highlight the gaps in current disability education, emphasizing the minimal focus on accessibility and its implications. By examining studies and recommendations from recent research, the viewpoint advocates for integrating accessibility education into medical training to empower future physicians in fostering inclusive healthcare environments. Recommendations are proposed to bridge educational gaps effectively, promoting a more holistic approach to disability education in medical schools.
