HSDM Technical Standards

Admission to the Harvard School of Dental Medicine is open to all qualified individuals and complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. In any case where a candidate's ability to observe or acquire information in keeping with these technical standards is compromised, the candidate must demonstrate alternative means and/or abilities to acquire and demonstrate the essential information conveyed in this fashion.  Reasonable accommodations for qualified persons with disabilities can be made so long as such accommodations do not require a change in fundamental program requirements of the curriculum, create a direct threat to the health or safety of patients, students, faculty, assistants or staff, create an undue burden, or compromise the academic integrity of the program. Students interested in initiating the accommodation process should contact the Office of Disability Services at 617-432-9198 or via e-mail at disabilityservices@hms.harvard.edu  to schedule an appointment.
