- Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify keywords medical educators should learn for their teaching and support. An anonymous web-based survey was conducted with 92 university faculty members and clinical supervisors. The participants were asked about their awareness and need for the 14 items related to support for students with disabilities. The items with below-average awareness and above-average need were “reasonable accommodation,” “educational considerations,” “self-understanding,” “support methods in clinical practice,” and “privacy and confidentiality” . Based on the results of this study, it is desirable to create video materials that can be studied on demand to promote understanding and awareness. This would contribute to the improvement of the qualities and skills of those who support learning and to the development of the standard of medical education.
