The Council of State has rejected the appeal of a medical student who was expelled. The student was removed from the programme due to concerns regarding future patient safety should they become a doctor. According to the university, there was a ‘pattern of unprofessional behaviour’. The student was already presenting himself as a doctor on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

Lying, arriving late and thus missing the medical handover meeting in which patient cases are discussed, inadequate medical knowledge, and fraud. Seven months after the start of the clinical placements, reports about the medical student began to surface. After psychotherapeutic treatment, the student\u2019s behaviour appeared to improve, until several months later, when new reports came in to the examination board.<\/p>\n

During this time, the student portrayed himself as a doctor on LinkedIn, while still being a master\u2019s student and thus unlicensed. Once again, there were reports of absenteeism, arriving late, being uninterested, and unprepared. In dermatology, the student was present during a surgical procedure but was more focused on their phone. Subsequently, they handled sterile materials with bare hands and removed their face mask to drink from a bottle they had brought along. During their time on a mental health unit, they left a window open and had their keys still in the door. These keys provided access to locked patient wards. Additionally, fraud was once again demonstrated in relation to an assignment.<\/p>\n\n\t
