Dr. Iezzoni is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a medical researcher particularly known for her work on health disparities among people with disabilities. Dr. Iezzoni first appeared on the Docs with Disabilities podcast last September, where she and Dr. Meeks discussed medical education's hidden curriculum, strategies to improve care for individuals with disabilities, and Dr. Iezzoni's advice for medical education faculty members and learners with disabilities. If you have not yet listened to that interview, we strongly encourage you to do so.
