Creating access for medical students and students in other graduate health science programs can be both challenging and stimulating. Campuses with health science programs are seeing an increase in the enrollment of qualified students with disabilities. It is important to proactively reach out to these programs to evaluate access and create collaborative relationships that can facilitate enhanced access instead of waiting and addressing individual accommodation needs as they emerge.
