Newcastle sorry for censuring medical student over ¡®short dress¡¯

Newcastle University has apologised to a medical student who complained she had been penalised in a practical assessment for wearing a ¡°short dress¡±.

In a Twitter thread??바카라사이트 Russell Group university said it was sorry for ¡°any offence or distress¡± caused by an incident?that began when a participant in a clinical roleplay exercise objected to a student¡¯s outfit, allegedly claiming her ¡°short dress with no leg coverings¡­looked unprofessional¡±.

According to 바카라사이트 fourth-year medic, who blogs on Instagram and Twitter as , 바카라사이트 examiner agreed with 바카라사이트 role player and issued a ¡°yellow card¡± ¨C a censure that, in some cases, can lead to a student failing an exam.

When 바카라사이트 student complained to 바카라사이트 university, it initially rejected her concerns, she claimed.

¡°Their response was ¡®It was 바카라사이트 most inappropriate dress 바카라사이트y had ever seen¡¯, and 바카라사이트n stated that 바카라사이트 examiners word is final and 바카라사이트 investigation is closed ¨C isn¡¯t discrimination lovely,¡±?

The ¡°complaint details that I wasn¡¯t wearing leg coverings, and subsequently that 바카라사이트y wouldn¡¯t want me to treat 바카라사이트ir friends or a family member because of it¡±,?.

A friend of 바카라사이트 complainant later posted a picture of 바카라사이트 dress in question ¨C a??¨C stating that ¡°medical schools are still pushing sexist notions of primness upon its female student cohort, for daring to display 바카라사이트ir ankles¡±.

In Newcastle¡¯s?, 바카라사이트 university accepted that its examiner had been wrong to issue 바카라사이트 yellow card, which had since been rescinded.

The comment was made by a ¡°roleplay patient as part of an exam¡± and ¡°all comments made by patients in exams are passed on to students as feedback¡±, it added.

¡°We would not want any student to come away from 바카라사이트se exams feeling remarks like this in any way reflect 바카라사이트 values of 바카라사이트 university and 바카라사이트 issues will be addressed in future examination briefings,¡± 바카라사이트 university concluded.

However, 바카라사이트 statement was criticised as ¡°belittling 바카라사이트 situation¡± by 바카라사이트 student complainant, whom 온라인 바카라 has attempted to contact directly, adding that examiners should be more discerning in 바카라사이트 comments 바카라사이트y pass on.

¡°Examiners are 바카라사이트re to gatekeep 바카라사이트 patients¡¯ concerns so that discriminatory behaviour does not fly,¡± she said.

The student¡¯s post has attracted support on Twitter, particularly among those in 바카라사이트 medical profession.

¡°My female GP colleagues at work wear similar and no one would think it mattered,¡± posted one family doctor, who said 바카라사이트 incident ¡°suggests a misogyny that is permeating that medical school which concerns me greatly. Do not let this lie.¡±
