Overview of 'Disability' Among Students in Health-related Fields
Abstract
The WHO estimates that 1 in 6 people worldwide has some form of "disability", with a higher risk of diseases such as depression and obesity. Social determinants of health influence the inequity in resource distribution. In Chile, since 1975, legal modifications have been made to ensure proper diagnosis and follow-up of students with "disabilities". Although there have been advances in education, concerns about inclusion in higher education persist. Efforts to promote inclusion and diversity in health and education institutions are highlighted. A more inclusive language such as "neurodiverse conditions" or "specific health conditions" is suggested.
