I wasn't aware that we could get special accommodations. How do we go about submitting a request for extended time?

It’s possible if you were diagnosed very young. Not if you were diagnosed later. Certainly not if you’re not diagnosed

Yes I got extended time for the GRE and GMAT. It was a process.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week?

Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)
