can you be color blind?

If the technical standards of the medical school don't mention it, then don't worry. Here are some past threads I found with the Search function that addressed the issue in pre-allopathic forum:

I have no less than 3 classmates who are red-green colorblind. So, the answer is yes.

 

i dont think you will encounter much green in the human body so red/green is not a big deal i think.

what kind of colorblindness do you have?

 

I was just thinking...red/green color-blindedness would suck if you were a biologist, since so many procedures involving fluorescence depend on the colors red and green

 

Was just assuming OP has a more common "color blindness" vs extremely rare variants (total color blindness, etc).

Also, wait until you see the gallbladder

 

Am I the only one who thought, based on the title of the thread, that this would be a discussion about URMs and adcoms? (I know, I'm horrible)
