We strive to reframe perceptions around disability from a deficit to a strength-based framework that values disability perspectives, lived experiences, and expertise.  We take an intersectional approach to our work and recognize that disability intersects with other aspects of identity, including race/ethnicity, gender identity, age, class, and other characteristics.

One way that we accomplish this enhanced disability access and inclusion at UCSF is through the creation of a Disability Resource Center (DRC). The DRC aims to provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for learners, staff, and faculty with disabilities and their allies to build community and learn about disability identity and culture.
