Accessibility

Our approach

We aim to make this website usable by people with disabilities and use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as an accessibility target. Accessibility review and improvements are ongoing. We do not claim that the site has been independently certified or that every page and third-party feature fully conforms.

Features implemented

• Descriptive image alternatives and structured page headings.
• A skip-to-content link, visible keyboard focus, and labeled navigation.
• Responsive layouts, improved text contrast, and reduced-motion support.
• Video players that load on request without autoplay, with labeled close controls.

Known limitations

Code-level checks have covered page structure, image alternatives, internal links, and selected color combinations. Comprehensive manual browser, screen-reader, and zoom testing remains outstanding. The embedded videos are hosted by YouTube. Caption accuracy and availability have not been fully verified, and transcripts and audio descriptions are not yet available for all content.

Request help or report a barrier

If you cannot access information or use a feature, call 310-601-2167 or email jeffrey.loh-doyle@med.usc.edu. Please identify the page, the difficulty, and the format or assistance you need. You may also describe your browser or assistive technology if helpful. Do not include sensitive medical information in ordinary email.

We will work with you to identify an appropriate way to access the information or service.
