  • Beyond Access: Supporting Students with Disabilities in the Health Professions

    Thursday, October 1 at 5:30 PM Pacific Standard Time
    What does it look like to pursue a career in healthcare while navigating a disability? Join Western University of Health Sciences for an informative conversation about disability support, accommodations, and student resources available throughout our health professions programs.

    Hear from the Director of the Office of Disabilities and Health Policy and a student leader as they discuss the history and mission of disability support at WesternU, the types of academic accommodations and resources available to students, and the importance of creating an inclusive environment within health professions education. The conversation will also provide an opportunity for prospective students to ask questions and learn more about the student experience.

    This webinar is open to all prospective students—including students with disabilities who are considering a health professions career and anyone interested in learning more about how students with disabilities are supported at WesternU. If you require reasonable accommodations in order to participate in the event, please respond to this email by September 24th, 2026.
