Support deaf students pursuing health care internships

Deaf students are actively pursuing careers in health care professions. As a result, postsecondary institutions are navigating the complexities of accommodations during internships. Institutions are required to make decisions on a case‐by‐case basis and should involve the student in the decision‐making process. Understanding legal responsibilities for accessibility is essential for equitable internship experiences (see Equitable Access Guide: Understanding Legal Responsibilities for Institutions at www.nationaldeafcenter.org/eag).
