Walking Tour: MEDICAL STUDENTS

For medical students studying intellectual [learning] disability, the volume of potential reading material can seem immense. To make things easier, we have highlighted a short list of articles that provide medical students with a good 'taster' of this field, including those important topic areas that are likely to be asked about in undergraduate exams. They have been selected with the input of our editorial board, which includes doctors involved in teaching and examining students, and a medical student representative. Intellectual disability is a global field, involving medical, psychological and social issues, all of which are covered in our selected articles.

As a guide, we have sub-divided the articles depending on where you are in your medical training. However, please consider browsing other areas too!
