View insights from our Roundtable on Chronic Medical Disabilities in Higher Education!

In 2022, Generation Patient held its first roundtable on students with chronic medical disabilities in higher education. This roundtable aimed to recognize and support the unique learning and socioemotional needs of college students with chronic medical disabilities.

We are grateful to the incredible speakers, ranging from disabled students to higher education professionals, who provided critical insights on accommodations, accessibility, campus culture, and more!

Given the importance of these key takeaways, we are happy to share that we have just published our Roundtable Proceedings Document, which encapsulates the major themes and recommendations that emerged from the Roundtable.
