Hear from Dr. O, who transformed his experience becoming disabled as a third-year medical student into a career showcasing that disability doesn’t mean inability. He will engage us in a conversation about disabling mental health and how we all can use our influence to create a supportive environment in our personal, academic and professional lives.
