In the world of health science education, the stakes get very high very fast. A simple delay in services can make the difference between success and failure in a course. Unlike other undergraduate education where a student can easily retake a failed course, two failed courses in an undergraduate or graduate health science program may result in dismissal from the program. Additionally, experiential learning requirements and high‐stakes examinations required in health science programs present a unique, multi‐layered aspect to the coordination of disability‐related accommodations. In other words, multiple moving parts make an accurate recollection of each element very challenging, so documentation of decisions and actions is critical.
