Universities Australia (UA) welcomes the opportunity to provide input into the review of the “Inherent Requirements for Studying Medicine in Australia and New Zealand” document (the document). The review is being undertaken by the Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand (MDANZ) who developed the document in 2017. The aim of the document is to support medical schools to offer the greatest access for students with a disability while ensuring safe clinical education and training. To assist in this, the document provides a set of guidelines which medical schools may choose to incorporate into their local practices. The guidelines are not mandatory.
