Description
A limited amount of research has been conducted on the knowledge of and familiarity with individuals with disabilities of medical students (Bruder, 1997). There have been studies on these individuals' satisfaction with medical services and the accessibility of medical services to them (Bachman, Vedrani, Drainoni, Tobias, & Maisels, 2006; Fouts, Andersen, & Hagglund, 2000; Grabois, Nosek, & Rossi, 1999; Thornton, 1999), the role of health care providers in working with these individuals (Geenen, Powers, & Sells, 2003), and the perceptions of medical students by individuals with physical disabilities (Branigan, Stewart, Tardif, & Velman, 2001). Only two studies, however, have investigated medical students' perception of individuals with visual impairments and hearing impairments (Geruschat, 1990; Owoeye, Ologe, & Akande, 2007). To ensure high-quality care for individuals with visual impairments, there is a need to investigate future physicians' knowledge of visual impairments. To expand the knowledge base on medical school students' knowledge of and familiarity with visual impairments, we conducted this pilot study. The purpose of the study was to investigate medical students' overall comfort with and knowledge of examining the eye and understanding of ocular conditions, comfort level in working with children and adults with visual impairments, and knowledge of local and state educational and rehabilitation services for individuals with visual impairments.
