A surgical resident who says he was forced out of McGill University’s arduous training program has filed a complaint against the university with the Quebec Human Rights Commission, claiming he has suffered unfair discrimination because of a learning disability.

The associate dean responded:

“Everyone has a right to accommodation; it’s an important principle,” he said. “But we have to always make sure patient safety is 100-per-cent taken into consideration. That’s why we have to look carefully at each case.”

In fact, he said, McGill has accommodated all types of illnesses and conditions, but there are also cases where the person’s illness, dexterity or cognitive disability has interfered significantly with their thinking and performance and they haven’t been accommodated in the discipline they desired."
