Abstract
Inclusion of disability education in nursing curricula is limited. The literature reveals that frequent and repeated clinical exposure of students to people with disabilities(PWD)impacts attitudes, knowledge and skills. A disability fellowship for nursing students was established to diminish barriers which improve PWD's health outcomes and decrease disparities.
