100 Wall Street, 103 WLH The Resource Office on Disabilities facilitates accommodations for undergraduate and graduate and professional school students with disabilities who register with and have appropriate documentation on file in the Resource Office. Early planning is critical. Documentation may be submitted to the Resource Office even though a specific accommodation request is not anticipated at the time of registration. It is recommended that matriculating students in need of disability-related accommodations at Yale University contact the Resource Office by June 1. Returning students must contact the Resource Office at the beginning of each term to arrange for course and exam accommodations. Students should also discuss need for accommodations with the associate dean for student affairs. The Resource Office also provides assistance to students with temporary disabilities. General informational inquiries are welcome from students and members of the Yale community and from the public. The mailing address is Resource Office on Disabilities, Yale University, 100 Wall Street, PO Box 208305, New Haven ct 06520-8305.

Merle Waxman, M.A., I-101 SHM The Office for Women in Medicine (OWM) serves as a focal point for a variety of concerns, both general and specific, within the School and the University. The OWM provides women students, house staff, and faculty access to advisers and mentors and facilitates access by students to professional women in an informal setting. Throughout the year, the office sponsors workshops or seminars on professional development and career opportunities for women in medicine and the sciences that address the broader concerns of women and men in the medical community. These programs are designed to provide an area for interchange, to increase the visibility of women in medicine, to introduce women at Yale Medical School to a spectrum of role models, to provide access to notable speakers, and to serve as a forum for relevant issues. The very existence of OWM demonstrates Yale's strong commitment to women and to the creation of a milieu where women at all levels (from beginning students to senior staff and faculty) can develop to full potential. Office of Government and Community Affairs
Myron Genel, M.D., I-100 SHM The Office of Government and Community Affairs facilitates communication among the Medical School administration, faculty, and students, and a variety of governmental, community, and professional organizations such as the Association of American Medical Colleges, the National Association for Biomedical Research, Research!America, the American Medical Association, state and county medical societies, the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, the Hill Development Corporation, and members of Congress and the Connecticut General Assembly. The office also helps promote and organize medical and public health student volunteer efforts in New Haven and sponsors the monthly Health Policy Journal Club. Finally, the office is involved in activities relating to the use of animals in research, teaching, and the promotion of public scientific literacy primarily through Connecticut United for Research Excellence.
