Candidates for admission to the School of Medicine must have functional use of the somatic senses, adequate motor capabilities to perform tasks in which these senses are employed, and the ability to integrate information acquired through these senses. Compensation through technology for deficiencies in any of these areas may be acceptable; however, such compensation must not preclude candidates' ability to function reasonably and independently. The use of a trained intermediary is not acceptable because it requires a candidate's judgment to be mediated by another person's selection and observation.
