Hogan’s research examines efforts to increase accessibility and participation in American health professions since the 1960s. He draws on professional newsletters and magazines, archival sources, and oral history interviews to explore the evolving ways in which health fields have described and conceptualized marginalization among disabled students and practitioners, as well as those from less elite and geographically underrepresented backgrounds. Amidst recent efforts to increase accessibility and participation for marginalized populations in professional fields, little attention has been given to the strategies, accomplishments, barriers, and shortcomings of past initiatives. Hogan analyzes the ways in which clinical fields’ perceptions and assessments of competence and capability have been used to exclude individuals from less elite and underrepresented backgrounds from careers in medicine and other health-related professions.
