Has there ever been part time or flexible schedule accommodations for disabled students or realistically should the student not declare his disability?
Thanks again!

The challenge to the need for a part time or flexible schedule with the dental school curriculum, regardless of why it may be needed, is that the dental school, education process is set up as a 44 month process, where many parts have to come together in a specific way to achieve the end result (which is a clinically competent dentist). There is not a lot of leeway in when things can be taught, to ensure that the students are ready for board exams along the way and that they have had ample amount of clinic time to become competent.

The school, regardless of which one you may matriculate at, will work with you and whatever your disability may be. It may end up though being a situation where instead of 4 years, it may be a longer process
