Abstract
Healthcare students with hearing loss require special consideration, as healthcare training may present new challenges compared to conventional didactic education. The degree and impact of hearing loss varies from person to person, and each student should receive a tailored assessment, with attention to unique challenges such as the operating room, highly formalized vocabulary, and incidental learning opportunities. This case follows a rising third-year medical student advocating for novel accommodations during clinical rotations in a medical school that has never had a deaf matriculant before. This case follows each stakeholder as they navigate establishing clinical rotations and accommodations, including a surgical rotation, that take into consideration the learner’s communication access needs and medical school requirements.
