Resumen
[EN] Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are vulnerable to poor health outcomes and have difficulty accessing needed health care. With few exceptions, health care providers have limited knowledge, experience and comfort in caring for patients with IDD. Disability content is sorely lacking in healthcare curricula. To develop disability competence, health care providers may seek continuing education on the topic. This chapter reviews resources for continuing education such as consensus medical guidelines, interactive programs or websites and organizations that provide resources toward improving healthcare quality
