The Committee on Students with Disabilities
(CSD) is very pleased that Martha Smith, MA,
Project Coordinator, from the Oregon Health
Sciences University has agreed to return to
DMS to provide a specialized training session
on "Teaching Medical Students with Disabilities."
She is a very dynamic speaker who did an excellent
program for the CSD last fall.
This training is being provided to faculty at
DMS since nearly every class now has several
students with various types of disabilities.
Please contact Susan Lynaugh, DMS Student Disabilities
Coordinator, to let her know if you would like
to attend. Refreshments will be provided.

Dartmouth
Medical School is excited about the opportunity to
participate in the Health Sciences Students with Disabilities:
Faculty Education Project.� The U.S. Department of
Education Office of Postsecondary Education funds
this Project.�
The
goal of the Project is to enhance the knowledge of health
science education
faculties to teach and accommodate students with disabilities
and, in turn, increase the success of these students.�Through
the Project, faculty will
be provided with the opportunity to attend training
programs and to access a Web Page that provides information
about the unique issues faced by students and faculty
in health science programs.� The Oregon Health Science
University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon is conducting
the Project.� The Dartmouth Medical School is collaborating
with OHSU on this important effort.�Susan Lynaugh, of
the Office for Student Affairs, is the Dartmouth Liaison
on this project.
Project
Update:
In
March, Martha Smith, OHSU-based project coordinator,
spent time at Dartmouth Medical School working with
Susan Lynaugh. Using curriculum that is being developed
for health science faculty by project staff, Martha
prepared Susan to train other faculty members on campus.
Susan will be training Clerkship Directors in August,
using Martha's "Day In the Life..." curriculum.
This curriculum takes the faculty through a student's
typical day using a problem-solving approach. She will
also be presenting with other project staff at the Association
of Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), in Portland,
Oregon the third week in July.
Videos
of health science professionals, including those featured
in the Profile
Gallery, are now available for loan. Contact Susan
Lynaugh for more information.
