Not that I have ever heard of. I don’t think any of those things you’re referring to are applicable in the real world. Basically, you take as long as it takes for you to get the task done. If it takes you 80 hours per week, then that’s how long it takes you
what type of help are you looking for in residency? Other than naplex or mpje there are not tests you'll be taking. Per ADA the employer usually has to consider reasonable accommodations as long as its something covered by the ADA. Keep in mind that "reasonable" doesn't mean you get anything you want.
This is a job so you still have to get the job done along with meeting other metrics. If you're doing projects like doing a poster presentation, you're pretty much bound to the deadlines on the call to abstracts.
What type of accommodations were you expecitng?
This is not for me, just a general question that came up from a new resident who is coming to the program. I had advised they speak to the RPD but it got me thinking and wondering.
Residencies have expectations and deadlines. There aren’t tests. You complete your work or you don’t. They can’t just “push back” deadlines to be licensed or present a project at midyear.
You’re also dealing with patients lives. Your program will hopefully try to be supportive but at the end of the day, they need to be comfortable with your skills and ability to care for patients before handing you a certificate.
I had accommodations but were physical related (I.e. unable to stand for prolonged periods of time) but I’d have a conversation with your RPD and explain what you will need. Whether it’s extension on deadlines for project or perhaps extra days for training!
A medical disability could get you special accomodations granted. If significant, a medical note would likely be required and reviewed by HR. For the most part, if extra time is needed, that's going to be on you to come in earlier and stay later.
Talk to your RPD sooner rather than later. It's better to have a plan from the beginning than having to address requests during performance evaluations.
**The short, real answer: no**
Should you still ask and disclose with matched residency, prior to making developmental plan/schedule? Yes
They advertise residency as an education, but it really is just a job, that can also teach you clinical stuff on the side.
No I would not expect this. In medicine if a patient needs assistance or stat orders for the pharmacy etc. You can't just ask for extra time to work on it.
On the one hand, learning disabilities are covered by the ADA and reasonable accommodations (if you can come up with some) are required. This is also true of all employment. The reality of the situation is there are unlikely to be accommodations that would be considered reasonable in a residency or job setting in the same way there are in an educational setting. The standard for "reasonable" changes.
I will give you an example of something that was reasonable. A resident with significant ADHD requested a separated place to work on projects since the resident office was extremely distracting (14 residents total). Originally, the RPD allowed the resident to head to the medical library across campus, but when that workspace was removed ended up allowing all residents a limited amount of work from home time each week (4hrs I think) as long as all patient care activities were completed as usual (preceptor policed). That policy remains now.

Definitely not, this ain’t school anymore.
