    Physicians are often expected to hold everything together—making vulnerability and disclosure especially difficult. Our #Disclosure Series explores what it means to disclose, the fears that shape those decisions, and what happens when you do. 🎧 Listen

    💙 In Episode 129 of the @DocsWith #DisclosureSeries, Dr. Andrea Lendaris shares how chief residents recognized she needed support, reminded her there was "no shame in it," and helped connect her with the resources she needed. 🎧 bit.ly/Disclosure_Par…
    Navy blue and gold graphic featuring a quote from Dr. Andrea Lendaris, Assistant Professor of Neurology and Associate Clerkship Director at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: “I was okay to work, but I felt very much so that my emotions were right underneath the surface. You know how intern year is. You’re exhausted ... I was a bit hesitant, but in the end, I just felt like I got the counseling piece and the support, and it helped me get over the hump of that PTSD kind of state. So I think that’s a beautiful example of how we can be taking care of each other through our residency.” Beneath this quote is smaller white text that reads “#DocsWithDisabilities. The Disclosure Series Episode 129” and a small DWDI logo emblem.

    Many medical students who identify as disabled aren't diagnosed until after they begin medical school. A diagnosis can bring clarity—but also difficult questions about disclosure, stigma, and accommodations. 🎧 bit.ly/Disclosure_Par… #DocsWithDisabilities #Disclosure
    Navy blue and gold graphic with the silhouette of an anonymous person, speaking. The quote reads: “In order to be successful, I needed to accept and embrace that I really do need to have strategies and accommodations to make it possible for me to be successful. The disclosure and frank discussion with my program that resulted was incredibly productive and helpful ... [it] led to solutions that I would not have imagined on my own.” Beneath this quote is smaller white text that reads “#DocsWithDisabilities. The Disclosure Series Episode 129” and a small DWDI logo emblem.

    Accommodation letters exist to protect privacy while providing equitable access—not to invite repeated scrutiny or personal judgment. 🎧 Hear one learner's story in Episode 129 of the #DisclosureSeries: bit.ly/Disclosure_Par… #DocsWithDisabilities #MedicalEducation
    Navy blue and gold graphic with the silhouette of an anonymous person, speaking. The quote reads: “The clerkship director told me that he didn't believe in accommodations because he didn't have evidence of the medical condition that caused them, which is the whole point of an accommodation letter. The whole point is that the person who wrote the letter has seen that evidence. It's to protect the privacy of the student.” Beneath this quote is smaller white text that reads “#DocsWithDisabilities. The Disclosure Series Episode 129” and a small DWDI logo emblem.

    🩺 Medicine changes every week. So can access needs. Creating equitable learning environments means recognizing that accommodations aren't a one-time decision—they're an ongoing process. 🎧 Episode 129 of the @DocsWith Podcast DISCLOSURE Series: bit.ly/Disclosure_Par…
    Navy blue and gold graphic featuring a quote from Dr. Khaja Siddiqui, an internal medicine resident at University of Arizona: “A lot of people in my situation don't know what they need until they experience it. Oftentimes I don't even know what I need until I get to that specific task ... things change weekly and the people that you work with also change weekly.” Beneath this quote is smaller white text that reads “#DocsWithDisabilities. The Disclosure Series Episode 129” and a small DWDI logo emblem.
