Hi, I have an inner ear condition that one doctor diagnosed as Meniere's. Very occasionally I'll get a pang of really bad dizziness that will throw off my equilibrium for a couple of seconds. Luckily I don't have the extended periods of vertigo that a lot of people with Meniere's have. It very rarely happens when I am standing (every couple of months). Lately I've been worrying about this being an issue during rotations where losing fine motor control unexpectedly could be really serious. Am I overblowing it? Should it be disclosed to medical school?
You would only be required to disclose if your medical issue would interfere with the essential function list of the medical school. Something that happens this rarely I would think would not be reportable, and you certainly won't need any accomodations for it. That said, this is not my area of expertise, and we'll see what others comment.
