NSU MD Technical Standards Introduction Applicants to NSU MD’s M.D. program are selected for admission based on their academic, personal, and extracurricular attributes. Applicants must also have the intellectual, physical, and emotional capabilities to meet the requirements of the college’s curriculum and of a successful medical career. The mission of the college is to provide the graduates of its M.D. program with broad general knowledge in all fields of medicine and the basic skills and competence requisite for the practice of medicine. Therefore, the faculty members of the college believe that a broad-based and patient-oriented curriculum is necessary for the development of such knowledge and skills and is best suited to the education of future generalists, specialists, physician investigators, and leaders in medicine. In other words, the college seeks to graduate students who will have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. The following technical standards are based on standards suggested by the Special Advisory Panel on Technical Standards for Medical School Admissions convened by the AAMC (Memorandum #79-4) in January 1979*. These guidelines were formally adopted by the Curriculum Committee in 2016, will be reviewed at least every three years by the Curriculum Committee, and will be updated as deemed appropriate. These guidelines specify the attributes considered essential for completing medical school training and for enabling each graduate to enter residency and clinical practice. Moreover, because the M.D. degree signifies that the holder is a physician prepared for entry into the practice of medicine within postgraduate training programs, it follows that graduates must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a wide array of patient care. As such, these standards, along with the academic standards established by the faculty members, describe the essential functions that applicants must demonstrate to meet the requirements of a general medical education, and are prerequisites for entrance, continuation, promotion, and graduation. NSU MD will consider for admission and continuation any applicant who meets its academic and nonacademic criteria and who demonstrates the ability to perform skills and meet the standards listed in this document, with or without reasonable accommodations, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These standards also conform to the AAMC guidelines for medical schools. The college believes that all applicants must possess the intellectual, physical, and emotional capabilities necessary to undertake the required curriculum in a reasonably independent manner without having to rely on the assistance of others or intermediaries, and that all applicants must be able to achieve the levels of competence required by the faculty members. All applicants for admission, both those with and without disabilities, are expected to be competitive with
