Candidates for admission to the School of Medicine must have functional use of the somatic senses, adequate motor capabilities to negotiate situations in which these senses would be employed, and the ability to integrate data acquired via these senses. Compensation through technology for deficiencies in any of these areas may be acceptable; however, such compensation should not preclude candidates’ abilities to act reasonably and independently. The use of a trained intermediary means that a candidates’ judgment must be mediated by someone else’s power of selection and observation and is not acceptable.
