Do you have questions about disclosing a disability and requesting accommodations for your residency or fellowship? Are you wondering what kinds of reasonable accommodations are available? How is the process different than requesting accommodations as a medical student?
Answers to these questions are explored in this video resource from DIGME, which guides new residents/fellows through the process of disclosing a disability and requesting accommodations in the next phase of their education.
Support to create this video was provided by the Center for a Diverse Healthcare Workforce at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine.
@FNF How does the accommodation process for residents and fellows differ from medical school, particularly when clinical rotations, overnight call, or patient-care responsibilities may require adjustments?
