AB Health  care  for  people  with  disability  is  not  commonly  discussed  in  health  education,  particularly  in  medical  education,  despite  the  increasing  prevalence  of  people  with  disability  within  the  United  States.  Clinicians  have  reported  discomfort  in  managing  the  health  of  people  with  disability,1  and  people  with  disability  often  report  negative  experiences  with  their  health  care  because  of  the  practitioners’  lack  of  knowledge.2  There  are  clear  health  and  health  care  disparities  noted  when  comparing  the  care  people  with  and  without  disability  receive.3,4  This  is  especially  true  for  women  with  disability.5,6,7  In  general,  disability  is  associated  with  obesity,  and  women  with  disability  represent  a  large  proportion  of  those  with  obesity  and  disability.
