Osteopathic Medical schools in the Midwest have long been ignoring Federal Civil rights laws relating to disability discrimination. Medical students with ADHD and Learning Disabilities are routinely not accommodated as required by Federal Civil Rights Laws [the Americans with Disabilities Act]. Medical students with other disabilities are also being shortchanged. Federal regulations [CFR Section 104.4 & 104.7 etc] governing the treatment of learning disabled and other disabled students can be found on the web at
