Assessment of Accommodation Requests Reported by a National Sample of US MD Students by Category of Disability

Abstract

Access to accommodations is critical for medical students with disabilities and may explain differences in performance, 1 program persistence, 1,2 and graduation. 2 Lack of accommodations has also been associated with greater risk of increased depressive symptoms and self-reported medical errors among training physicians.3 Despite the potential consequences of nonaccommodations, and a growing number of medical students reporting disabilities, 4 to our knowledge, no study has investigated differences in the proportion of accommodation requests across disability categories.Variation in request by disability category may reveal barriers and vulnerabilities within subpopulations of students with disabilities.This study aimed to identify the proportion of accommodation requests across disability categories.
