The woman, who goes by The Graduate Medic on social media, was reprimanded for her “short skirt” during a clinical examination as part of her exams.
The student claimed her dress was branded ‘inappropriate’ and ‘short’ by an examiner, seeing her slapped with a ‘yellow card’. Picture: Twitter. He wrote: “A friend did their OSCE’s with me recently & got yellow carded for wearing a ‘short skirt’ … could someone explain to me how it’s 2021 & medical schools are still pushing sexist notions of primness upon its female student cohort, for daring to display their ankles.”The university has apologised to the woman for the incident, but insisted “the comment was made by a role-play patient as part of an exam”.
She said the uni were “belittling the situation” and as no action has been taken against the examiner, it was ”not an apology”.
