Many health sciences programs and disability and rehabilitation professionals have taken the view that deaf or hard of hearing students will have difficulty succeeding in such programs. Actually, healthcare professionals who are deaf and hard of hearing have been and continue to be successful nurses, doctors, and dentists. The Health Sciences: Faculty Education Project is a three-year federal grant project located at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The Project is one of 22 federally funded grants focusing on issues of educating faculty in higher education regarding the issues of students with disabilities. This is the only grant to focus specifically on health sciences programs.
