University of Utah School of Medicine.

The University of Utah School of Medicine Graduate Medical Education Program in Neurosurgery complies with Section 504 of the 1973 Vocational Rehabilitation Act, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, in providing opportunities for qualified individuals with disabilities. At the same time, prospective candidates must be capable of meeting certain technical standards. The following technical standards specify those attributes the faculty considers to be essential in successfully completing residency and fellowship training and in practicing medicine safely and responsibly. These standards describe the essential functions that residents and fellows must demonstrate in the requirements of post-graduate medical education, and thus, are pre-requisites to entrance, continuation, and completion of training in the Neurosurgery Program. Requests for reasonable accommodation are evaluated on an individual basis. This policy applies to the Neurosurgery Residency Program and to all Department of Neurosurgery Fellowships.
