The University of Auckland's medical school says it is \"reasonably sure\" a fake medical student did not deal with hospital patients. <\/p>\n
An investigation has been launched by the university to figure out how a student managed to pose as a medical student for two years. <\/p>\n
The dean of the Medical and Health Sciences Faculty, John Fraser, said it was unclear whether the student got through the doors of Auckland Hospital. <\/p>\n
\"We understand that he assigned himself to a group, but whether he actually was there, on site, and engaged with the patients, we are reasonably sure that didn't occur,\" Professor Fraser told TVNZ. <\/p>\n
The man also forged a student identification badge, which he was seen wearing. <\/p>\n
The man, yet to be named, had even fooled his family into thinking he was training legitimately to be a doctor. <\/p>\n
Starting out as a health science student and failing to get into medical school, he took part in second and third year medical studies and was involved in human cadaver dissection. <\/p>\n
Prof Fraser said the man deceived everyone in the class and his fellow, legitimate, students were feeling betrayed and angry. <\/p>\n
\"We had a formal meeting with students yesterday, their reaction was not surprisingly hurt and upset and there was some degree of anger. <\/p>\n
The university's medical programme head Warwick Bagg said the bogus student would be referred to the appropriate health services to help him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
