BACKGROUND:
I have had dyslexia my whole life and it's not going anywhere! I have learned to deal with it and am fortunate to have a mild case. I was never officially diagnosed; I could be but don’t see the point.

Any Students with Learning Disabilities?
Anyone here have a learning disability? How are you coping?
I am a first year vet student and feel like I won't ever be able to keep up with the workload. I have autism, adhd, and dyslexia. Anatomy is killing me because I can't pronounce or spell any of the structures so its really hard to be able to study. In high school and undergrad I usually had to study at least double what the average person did, but with the intense workload there's not enough hours in the day to do that. I do have...

Dyslexia ADHD as adult
Was reading a resident who had trouble passing board exams after med school, so step 3.
Is that a psychiatric diagnosis? Who is best to help assess the testing “accommodation”? School psychologist? Specialized pediatrician?
Trying to pick some brains here. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

NBME Accommodations Denial
Dear Medical Students and Physicians,
I've been a longtime sufferer of ADHD and dyslexia and have been receiving accommodations through college and medical school. I did not apply for accommodations for the MCAT in fear of discrimination and now I regret it. I took the MCAT twice and even then I did not finish any sections and had to select the lucky "C" for at least 2 passages a piece. I applied for NBME accommodations for Step 1 and was DENIED
I've sent them the most complete...
