Petition: Investigate Doctor Who Let Male Medical Student Give Woman Pelvic Exam Without Consent

A North Carolina woman says that she received a pelvic exam from a male medical student without him asking for her consent first. This is illegal, and this poor woman should not have had to go through this.

Active and expressed consent is extremely critical during every step of an exam like this. However, according to the victim, the trained medical provider, Dr. Noor, did not get consent from the woman before allowing the male medical student to conduct the pelvic exam.

Stories like this are so tragic and call to the bigger issue of people not feeling safe when seeking care. There are gender disparities in healthcare, and countless studies have shown that people and women especially do not feel safe, respected, and cared for when they go to the doctor. They even sometimes won’t seek care when they need it! Everyone deserves to feel safe going to the doctor.

Everyone deserves respectful medical care, and the students must get consent before performing exams. UNC needs to take responsibility!

Sign this petition to demand Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz direct UNC to investigate Dr. Noor and fire her if found guilty of breaking North Carolina law!
