For educators

The Center for Humane Diagnosis partners with healthcare education programs in the United States to offer elective training webinars and in-person presentations on delivering prenatal disability diagnoses from the patient’s perspective. Presentations involve interviews with patients who are now parents of children with Down syndrome or other conditions frequently diagnosed in utero, a brief overview of patient experiences and guiding principles concerning prenatal disability diagnoses in the U.S., and an opportunity for direct Q & A with the patients. Medical education programs may also partner with the Center for Humane Diagnosis to inform Medical Humanities curriculum.

For students

Medical education programs and campus student clubs may coordinate with the Center for Humane Diagnosis to organize opportunities for students to interact directly with individuals living with Down syndrome and other genetic conditions. The Center for Humane Diagnosis also offers research and advocacy internships, equipping students to advocate for disability-friendly policies and for sensitive, accurate presentations of disability diagnoses in the medical community.
