Accessibility statement for the ADMSEP general website
This is an accessibility statement from the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry (ADMSEP) covering the ADMSEP general website.
Measures to support accessibility
ADMSEP takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the ADMSEP general website:
- Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities.
- Include accessibility as essential to our organizational workflow and priorities.
- Include accessibility considerations throughout our internal policies.
- Employ formal accessibility quality-assurance methods.
- Consider all feedback regarding missed opportunities for improvement.
- Invite public feedback on the accessibility of the general website.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) (opens the W3C WAI standards page) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. WCAG defines three conformance levels: A, AA, and AAA.
The rebuilt ADMSEP general website pages in this package target WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance. ADMSEP is actively remediating legacy pages; some non-rebuilt pages may be only partially conformant while remediation is in progress.
The rebuilt pages passed the project's automated accessibility pipeline on May 15, 2026, including HTML validation, color-contrast checks, heading-map checks, axe-core, Pa11y CI, Lighthouse accessibility, keyboard-navigation smoke tests, skip-link tests, 320-pixel reflow checks, and WCAG text-spacing stress checks.
Automated accessibility checks are strong evidence, but they do not replace manual review or constitute formal legal certification. ADMSEP welcomes feedback if any accessibility barrier remains.
Feedback
We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the ADMSEP general website. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers:
- Email: admsep.council@gmail.com
We try to respond to feedback within three to ten business days.

Assessment approach
ADMSEP assesses the accessibility of the general website by the following approaches:
- Self-evaluation using axe-core and other automated checkers.
- Package-level automated audit runs using HTML validation, color-contrast checks, heading-map checks, Pa11y CI, Lighthouse accessibility, keyboard-navigation smoke tests, skip-link tests, 320-pixel reflow checks, and WCAG text-spacing stress checks.
