Accessibility Statement
We have redesigned the School
of Medicine homepage to meet currently recognized
web accessibility standards. Our goal is to make the site easily understandable
and navigable to screen readers and those using other assistive technologies.
To meet this goal we have added:
- A skip navigation link allowing users to jump past groups of mostly
repetitive navigation links and go directly to the main content.
- Access keys allowing users to quickly access
important sections of the website with the keyboard rather than a mouse.
See our access key legend below.
- Descriptive alt tags providing text descriptions of images for screen
readers and those who have images turned off.
- Text designed to be easily re-sizable through the web browser. See
instructions for re-sizing text below.
- Text displayed in high contrast for readability.
- Abbr and acronym tags to denote abbreviations and acronyms.
- Hyperlinked text that clarifies what content the user will find,
rather than vague links such as ‘learn more’ or ‘click
here’.
