Ethical question about rotation

[mountain girl]

A friend in my school was on a family med rotation. The program director told the female residents they should come to him for pap smears. She felt it was creepy. He also hugs the females. He is very touchy. This all seems very unprofessional to me, but I would like to hear other opinions. I was going to rank that program in the future and now I am not sure if I should even audition there. Am I overreacting?

It’s hard to make a solid judgement on situation without being there and getting the full context/tone. Even then I still find it very odd. Also, him being touchy just makes him even more creepy. 100% red flag and your reservations are valid.

If it is unprofessional and uncomfortable for you, then it is reason enough to not go. Listen to your gut.

Honestly, being touchy in a professional situation is just asking for trouble. Does this director seem to treat female residents different from male residents? Just things to think about. I’ve seen docs treat female employees very differently versus males and it’s just so… suspicious.

He has Larry Nassar tendency. Probably wants to do OMM holistic treatment on female residents.😉
