Faculty and preceptors are responsible for implementing accommodations for their courses, and communication with the learner is essential. This webinar will share basic information about accommodation regulations and several examples of handling accommodations in the classroom and experiential setting. Accommodation considerations for resident learning will also be discussed.

2. Describe effective implementation strategies for accommodations in the classroom setting.
3. Develop appropriate accommodations for student and resident experiential learners.
