PoWER Program: People with Disabilities Educating Residents.
An educational program was developed incorporating people with disabilities (PWDs) as "consumer-trainers" who educate physical medicine and rehabilitation residents about challenges in everyday living and their solutions to these. During the residency postgraduate years 2 and 4, pairs of residents visited trainers in their homes and at their jobs to learn about their lifestyles and adaptations. Residents' described the experience as "excellent, outstanding, invaluable" in more than half of the evaluations. PWDs can educate physical medicine and rehabilitation residents about living with disabilities. This new residency educational strategy encourages residents to value the perspective of PWDs.

Hector Landouzy on facial paralysis in newborn children: the case studies of a 19th-century French hospital physician.
Marc-Hector Landouzy (1812-1864) was one of the first to describe facial paralysis in newborn, through a series of case studies. By examining these four cases in the context of Landouzy's life, publications and professional circumstances, this study shows how case studies were an important part of the scientific revolution within medicine in the 19th century. Landouzy, soon followed by others, used the growing clinical populations of Parisian hospitals, patho-anatomy and cutting-edge physiologic techniques to help describe a previously ignored disease among newborns. His case studies, in particular, are a valuable example of the emerging interest in children as a clinical population and of early interest in child neurology.
