Inclusive Medical Education

The Inclusive Medical Education: Guidance on medical program applicants and students with a disability guidance document has been developed by Medical Deans for use in professional entry level medical training with the aim of providing the greatest access for students with a disability while ensuring safe clinical training.

The document specifies the requirements of pre-registration medical training rather than medical practice and sets out what a medical student is expected to demonstrate and how a student will be assessed at entry and during the medical course.

The Faculty of Medicine is a strong supporter of these guidelines, therefore it is a requirement that all students acknowledge that they have read and understood the guidelines on commencing the MD program.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your ability to meet the guidelines, please contact the Academic Guidance Lead (Year 1) via med.academicguidance@uq.edu.au.

When to complete this task

It is highly recommended that you read and understand the guidelines as soon as possible after accepting your offer into the MD program to ensure that you have enough time to obtain advice if needed. It is important that you have read and understand the guidelines as soon as possible and prior to the commencement of Semester 1, Year 1.
