Student Disability Services

Penn State College of Medicine is committed to the success of students with disabilities in all its academic programs. Students with disabilities may be able to receive reasonable accommodations to eliminate barriers to success.

Students who receive accommodations do not receive an advantage over others; rather, accommodations allow such students to not be at a disadvantage relative to other students because of conditions beyond their control. The Student Disability Resource services (SDR), through the Office of Diversity, Equity and Belonging, provides reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.   

Please contact the Student Disability Advisor at disabilityservices@pennstatehealth.psu.edu  or call 717-531-3033 to obtain the guidelines on how to apply for services.   

Following the guidelines can ensure students with disabilities receive equitable access and experience full academic participation while attending Penn State College of Medicine.
