Religious Inclusion
The Methodist University Cape Fear Valley Health School of Medicine is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that honors and respects the religious, spiritual, and cultural identities of all students. The School of Medicine Student Affairs Office recognizes the importance of religious practices and observances and strives to provide a supportive environment that ensures equitable participation in academic and campus life. No student shall be discriminated against, denied benefits, or otherwise treated unfavorably because of their religious beliefs, practices, or requests for reasonable accommodation made in good faith. The School of Medicine Student Affairs office promotes inclusion through individualized assessment, interactive communication, and respect for both student rights and essential academic standards. Approved accommodations will not compromise patient safety, alter essential curricular requirements, or reduce the academic standards expected by all medical students.
