The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Medical Association (AMA) have collaborated to publish a language guide that advises medical professionals to avoid phrases such as “homeless,” “handicapped,” and “morbidly obese.”
The move is thought to be a way to avoid social media backlash.
The guide, titled “Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts,” recommended replacing those phrases with “people who are experiencing (condition or disability type).”
