Founded at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, DAC Med now operates with both Northwestern and national leadership. We are thrilled to have hosted the 5th Annual Disability Advocacy Coalition in Medicine (DAC Med) National Virtual Conference on Saturday, October 18, 2025, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Lisa Meeks, Clinical Professor at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and co-founder of the Docs with Disabilities Initiative.

Last year’s conference theme was “Reimagining Clinical Excellence: How Disability Makes Medicine Better.” The conference featured additional engaging speaker sessions, patient panels, research presentations, and more.
