“…In our review, about 7% of articles incorporated a stated model of disability other than the medical model. The models included the social model (Block et al, 2005; Hyde & Kerry, 1997; McClimens et al, 2017; McClimens, Bosworth, et al, 2012), an ecologic model (Kropf et al, 1993; Wong & Wong, 2008), a human rights model (Ben‐Sefer, 2006), an empowerment model (Mogro‐Wilson et al, 2014; Sarmiento et al, 2016), a ‘nothing about us without us’ model (Ailey & O'Rourke, 2008), and a disabilities studies perspective (Block et al, 2005).

BackgroundPeople with intellectual and developmental disabilities are among the most underserved in an inequitable healthcare system.MethodsUsing Arksey and O'Malley's methodology and a social determinants of health framework, we conducted a scoping review of literature on the state of practice in education of healthcare professionals in the health and healthcare needs of this population.ResultsSearches found 4948 articles, with 182 included in the final review. Themes identified included gaps of not being informed by workforce needs, continued use of the medical model of care, not addressing intersectionality with racial/ethnic and other discriminations, and lack of involvement of the population in developing/evaluating programs and promising trends of development of competency‐based interprofessional programs with experiential learning.ConclusionWe provide recommendations for best practices in a concerted effort to educate a healthcare workforce equipped with the knowledge and skills to address the health needs of this population.
