Three years ago, three disability services providers connected with a simple idea — let's share what we know and in exchange learn from our peers as part of a formal network. This group has been infinitely more powerful than the sum of the individuals in it. Individually we are singular providers restricted to the autonomy and authority prescribed by our institutions, but together — as part of the coalition — we create a superior reservoir of education and grow our resources exponentially through the listserv, articles, books, research, and networking during the symposium. The Coalition for Disability Access in Health Science and Medical Education was formed — and thrives — under this idea of synergy.
