The Health, Wellness and Aging with Disability Mailing List

This list is currently supported by:

Center for Disability Issues and the Health Professions at Western University of Health Sciences
http://www.westernu.com/cdihp.html
The Center is working to enhance health professions education, and to improve access for people with disabilities to health, health education and health care services. The Centers primary goals include:

1.) improving health professionals' understanding of the "whole" person with a disability, through the development of curriculum that is integrated into the students' education at pre- and postgraduate levels,

2.) increasing the number of qualified health professionals with disabilities through development and implementation of a recruitment program and University support services,

3.) developing and delivering training for people with disabilities regarding effective access, use and communication so that they may become active participants in their health care.

4.) developing and distributing research on community-based health education, prevention and health care services for people with disabilities.

WHAT THE LISTS FOCUS IS: 

This mailing list will alert you to news items, conferences,
web sites, and publications that explore disability-related
managed care, health, wellness and aging issues. You will receive selected periodic mailings, typically once or twice a month.
