Changes in Services for Students with Learning Disabilities in U.S. and Canadian Medical Schools, 1991 to 1997.
Faigel, Harris C
Academic Medicine, v73 n12 p1290-93 Dec 1998
A survey of 96 United States and 9 Canadian medical schools found that the large majority accepted students with learning disabilities and claimed to make some academic accommodations. Most would administer nonstandard (i.e., nontimed) licensing examinations, and many reported that their affiliated postgraduate medical-training programs would also make appropriate accommodations.
