Nothing About Us Without Us: Improving Representation of Disability in Medical School Curriculum Through Explicit Inclusion.

Medical school curricula across the United States fail to adequately prepare students to provide high-quality care to and advocate for patients with disabilities. To address this shortcoming at one large, urban medical school, the Curriculum Committee at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC) formed a taskforce of students and faculty to evaluate the degree and quality of disability representation in its undergraduate medical education (UME) curriculum. Taskforce members solicited input from five community members in various fields of disability advocacy to craft recommendations that reflected this community's vision for disability education in UME. Community partners suggested areas of focus including clinical skills, accessibility of healthcare facilities, awareness of intersectionality with other identities, acknowledgment of bias, and respect for the patient's autonomy via their "right to risk." The taskforce report to the Curriculum Committee included 9 recommendations for curricular revision based on community partner suggestions, 6 of which were accepted and are being implemented into the curricular content for the class of 2026 and beyond. This novel approach to implementing curricular change could encourage other medical schools to evaluate their own curricula through the lens of disability and prompt curricular revision with the input of community partners with disabilities, students, and, faculty.

Memahami Hubungan Anggaran dan Pelaporan Keuangan Daerah dari Perspektif Hubungan Keagenan

Abstract Budgets in local governments are financial plans that serve as operational and financial guidelines for local governments and financial reports are a medium of accountability for the budgets that have been implemented by local governments (Abdullah, 2020). Therefore, the local government financial report (LKPD) will show the budget and its realization, as well as the financial status before and after the budget is implemented (Abdullah, 2020). Between the two documents, there is a process that allows financial reports not only to report on budget execution, but also to provide political “tools” and acknowledgment of bias in the budgeting process estimated by local government external auditors. Therefore, agency problems are found in regional budgeting and financial reporting (Abdullah, 2020). Keywords: Keagenan, Hubungan Anggaran

Exploring the Relationship between Self-Awareness and Student Commitment and Understanding of Culturally Responsive Social Work Practice

This study explores the relationship between self-awareness and social work students' commitment and understanding of culturally responsive social work practice. Data consisted of assigned papers (N = 23), submitted by graduate social work students, which asked them to describe their ethnic/racial background and ancestors' process of assimilation, and to reflect on their ethnic and racial identity as a means toward increased self-awareness and future culturally responsive practice. Content analysis revealed 11 themes, including students' enlightenment of their privilege, experiences of cultural loss, and acknowledgment of biases as integral parts of culturally responsive practice. Implications for social work education and research are addressed.
