Katimavik has a team of doctors who examine medical forms on a case-by-case basis. All medical information remains confidential; only the medical team has access to this part of the application.

The candidate’s physical and mental health is assessed in the evaluation process. Acceptance into the program also depends on how the candidate’s medical condition may affect their participation and to what extent it can be accommodated.

If Katimavik cannot accept an application for medical reasons, the candidate can reapply the following year, as long as they still meet the age requirement and their health has stabilized.
