Description: Technical standards have been identified as a barrier to medical school admissions for individuals with disabilities. This webinar is designed to assist schools in seeking to align their technical standards to more accurately reflect 21st-century medical education and technology.  

The speakers will provide a  history of technical standards, legal and educational implications, review welcoming and inclusive language, and a side-by-side comparison of inclusive and restrictive technical standards domains. Finally, the speakers will outline a thoughtful and informed process of reviewing and revising technical standards. 

Learning Objectives: 

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Understand the intended use of technical standards,  legal and accreditation requirements for technical standards, and critical elements of inclusive technical standards.

• Apply the information and resources to the review of programs’ technical standards.  

• Engage relevant institutional stakeholders to revise an updated set of technical standards that reflect recent guidance and inclusive language
