Exam Accommodations

The American Board of Comprehensive care and its testing vendor make every effort to reasonably accommodate candidates with documented disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you have a disability as defined under the ADA, you must notify ABCC by submitting the following information in a separate envelope:

A report regarding your request from your physician or a qualified healthcare professional. The information must be on the physician’s or other qualified healthcare professional’s letterhead, typed, dated and signed by the healthcare professional. The report must document the following information:

  • A specific diagnosis and date of your diagnosis
  • Specific and current findings that support your diagnosis (relevant medical history, tests administered, date of the most current evaluation, within the last 3 years)
  • A description of your substantial functional limitations resulting from your stated disabilities
  • Specific recommendations for your testing accommodation(s) including a detailed explanation of why the accommodation is needed. If the accommodation includes extra time, please indicate the amount of time needed.
  • If you are currently in school please submit a copy of all approved accommodations from the school’s office of disability services.
  • Please submit a Test Accommodation Request Form with the report.

Important note: Additional information may be requested after a review of your request.

Please refer to USMLE for further information.
