National Disability Employment Awareness Month was created to recognize the important contributions that people liv ing with disabilities make to the workplace and the overall economy. This year’s theme is “America’s Recovery: Powered by Inclusion”. As Washington U niversity School of Medicine continues to our journey toward inclusive exce llence we must better understand\, support and engage people living with di sabilities in our community.

She will also discuss the importance of an inclusiv e culture. Aimee will then moderate a discussion with a panel of individual s living with both visible and invisible disabilities in the workforce. Pa nelists will share some of their experiences and discuss existing challenge s. Panelists will discuss what each of us can do to address those challeng es and intentionally foster a sense of belonging and inclusion for folks w ith disabilities at Washington University School of Medicine.
