UCSF is committed to providing equal access to students with documented disabilities. To ensure your access to this course and to the program, students with disabilities may contact Student Disability Services (SDS). There you can engage in a confidential conversation about the process for requesting reasonable accommodations in the classroom and clinical settings. Accommodations are not provided retroactively. Students are encouraged to register with SDS as soon as they begin the program. More information can be found online at sds.ucsf.edu or by contacting SDS at 415-502-6595, [email protected].
