In 2019 the Alliance published the Core Competencies on Disability for Health Care Education: Six competencies and 49 sub-competencies, developed over two years with input from more than 140 disability experts, educators, clinicians, and people with disabilities. They are cross-disability, interdisciplinary, and free to use. Programs use them to audit a curriculum, build learning activities, and make the case for disability content to accreditors.
