PAH, MD at the UR -- Overview
Works to improve the quality of healthcare offered to deaf and hard of hearing
individuals through education of both patient and healthcare provider.
Although hearing loss is a common occurrence (an estimated 22M people in the US are affected), few healthcare providers have a good understanding of hearing loss, Deaf culture, sign language, or the many problems that can occur when a deaf or hard of hearing (d/hoh) patient and an unprepared healthcare provider try to form a productive working relationship
We have the largest per capita population of deaf and hard of hearing people in the world -- roughly 1 out of every 25 Rochesterians uses sign language as their preferred means of communication
All of these factors -- communication barriers, lack of mutual understanding, and prejudice -- significantly reduce the quality of care offered to deaf and hard of hearing people
It is the aim of PAH, MD to: Educate the medical community about the unique issues and responsibilities in providing effective health care to deaf and hard of hearing people, and to promote a basic understanding of Deaf culture, sign language, and hearing loss
The acronym PAH, MD (Promoting Awareness in Healthcare, Medical and Deaf) was selected because it has relevant meanings in both English and American Sign Language (ASL)
