The preliminary study reported here indicates that a number of medical students and residents are identified Type 1 diabetics (although the actual number is probably greater) and that they perform well. Most programs and schools have no formal or informal policy regarding the acceptance of diabetic candidates; indeed, most consider the disease irrelevant and treat the diabetic candidates the same as nondiabetic candidates in the selection process.
