The Disability Resource Center can assist you with receiving accomodations for your block exams and shelf exams. Keep in mind, receiving accommodations for the pre-clerkship blocks does not necessarily mean you will receive accommodations for the Step exams.
Applying for USMLE accommodations can be a challenging process. In addition, it takes at least 60 business days for applications to be processed. The Office of Student Success encourages you to start early and work with your Learning Specialist throughout the process.
