Abstract
According to a 2019 study,1 medical student disclosure of disability increased by 69% from 2016 to 2019. In a comparison of data from schools that responded both years, the largest gain was in psychological disability. To better understand whether a meaningful proportion of students with mental health diagnoses disclose their disability, we assessed the proportion of MD students reporting psychological disabilities and examined subcategories of psychological disability.Keywords
