Hello,
I will be apply for residency in the not too distant future. I was wondering if I should disclose my disability (processing delay) on my residency application? I think it explains some of the weaker points in my application (ok grades, it takes my a lot longer to read and learn than my peers) and I also think that it adds to my character, as I am impressed by how far I have come. I also have won some awards for persons with disabilities. However, IDK if residency programs will look at it favorably or not. I will say it did help me out in med school applications. Any insight would be welcome.
Thank you for your input.
