The University of Auckland is investigating how a man who was denied a place at its medical school was able to attend classes. <\/p>\n
The man is alleged to have dissected cadavers, donated for medical research, among other assignments. <\/p>\n
A medical school spokesman said the man participated in the second and third year of the six-year medical course. <\/p>\n
Over the two-year period he evaded lecturers by not putting his name to anything, he said. An anonymous person reportedly emailed 3News claiming the student was to work in a hospital environment as a third-year student. <\/p>\n
That would allow him to work with patients and confidential information, the person said. <\/p>\n
The university is believed to have issued a trespass notice against the man. <\/p>\n
Dean of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences Professor John Fraser said, in a statement, the university was \"extremely concerned to discover that a person who applied for entry into the medical programme in 2010 and was unsuccessful has since been attending classes\". <\/p>\n
\"Because of the size of the medical class, and by not submitting assessments or sitting tests, the individual was able to deceive classmates and teachers. <\/p>\n
\"Ultimately the presence of this person was detected when an assignment was submitted that did not match any name on the class list. <\/p>\n
\"This individual is not a student and is not on any class list. This person has not been given any confidential or restricted training material, and has not, to our knowledge, ever been able to examine any patients or received confidential patient information.\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
