The Committee on Disabilities is also trying to create a support network for students with disabilities so that if a med student would like to find another med student with the same disability to ask them advice or to share experiences, we could put them in touch. If you are willing to give the Committee on Disabilities your contact information for this purpose, please enter it below.
