NBME Guide for Requesting Accommodations Webinar 3
Updated: Aug 1, 2024
Assisting students with crafting the personal statement
Description: The personal statement is the student’s only opportunity to contextualize their disability in the context of their personal experiences and the examination. It’s a critical element of their packet and often times a source of great personal distress. Providing concrete guidance to students, along with a suggested outline, personal statement prompts, and support in editing increases the chances that students applications will be understood and reflect the level of detail needed to meet the NBME standards. In this webinar, the presenters will assist the audience with understanding the aforementioned items and the necessary steps for submitting a quality personal statement.

Such a valuable webinar resource! It addresses a huge pain point for medical students putting together NBME accommodation requests. Providing structured outlines and writing support for the personal statement makes this high‑stakes process far less intimidating. Grateful to the presenters and the DocsWithDisabilities Initiative for advancing accessibility within medical education. Great work! --poly track

I found your guide on requesting accommodations very informative and well-organized—the step-by-step approach makes the process seem much more approachable. I recently saw a similar discussion on a review blog, which gave a slightly different but complementary viewpoint. It’s similar to the way https://thesagelawgroup.ca/ presents complex procedural guidance in a clear, accessible format.
