Overview of technical standards
Element 10.5 ˇXTechnical Standards
What: Students must meet various technical standards upon admission, during their medical school experience and at graduation.
Why: VCU School of Medicine intends for its graduates to become competent and compassionate physicians who are capable of entering residency training and meeting all requirements for medical licensure. The established technical standards represent the minimum observational, communication, clinical, cognitive and behavioral/social capabilities required for completion of the undergraduate medical education curriculum. The continued ability to meet these standards, either with or without reasonable accommodation(s), is a requirement of all students.
