This study aimed to explore health professions' educators (HPEs) views on inclusive education, acceptance of students with different needs and comfort levels when engaging with students with disability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online survey of Australian HPEs was conducted between June and November 2024. Two scales were used to measure preparedness and concerns regarding teaching students with disability. Analyses of variance were performed to compare the mean difference in both scales. The relationship was assessed using a linear regression model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 148 HPEs completed the survey; of these, 72% were females, 64% were employed in a part\u2010time capacity and on average had been teaching for 12.6\u2009years. They perceived that they had some confidence, knowledge and resources for teaching students with disability, but reported that they had received limited training. HPEs were most concerned about students not being accepted by healthcare or clinical educators and the difficulty of providing appropriate support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HPEs had limited training and were concerned that students would not be accepted by healthcare or clinical educators. These findings suggest that reshaping the culture and practices of HPE with regards to disability inclusion may be required to provide HPEs with the skills they need to support students, to dispel misconceptions and to provide students with disability learning environments where they can safely and equitably thrive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tct.70364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]],"date-time":"2026-02-17T13:55:17Z","timestamp":1771336517000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Health Professions' Educators' Preparedness for Inclusive Education: The HEPIE Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3243-8176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gisselle","family":"Gallego","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine The University of Notre Dame Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Disability Studies, an affiliate of the University of Sydney  Camperdown New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6438-9591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Forlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education The University of Notre Dame Australia  Fremantle Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5474-6620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lise","family":"Mogensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine Western Sydney University  Campbelltown New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7903-5796","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Damion Drapac Centre for Equity in Health Professions Education, Faculty of Health Deakin University  Victoria Australia"},{"name":"The Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) Deakin University  Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-7868-3901","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine The University of Notre Dame Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7595-5624","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kim","family":"Bulkeley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sydney School of Health Sciences The University of Sydney  Camperdown New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4482-5798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aishah","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine The University of Notre Dame Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9150-097X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dinesh","family":"Palipana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine The University of Notre Dame Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences &amp; Medicine Bond University  Robina Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Emergency Department Gold Coast University Hospital  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","first-page":"201","volume-title":"Leadership in Interprofessional Health Education and Practice","author":"Crowe T.
