Do your programs have you practice assessments on each other in lab? Is this common?! I was very surprised to find out this is expected of us at my school. It seems a little unprofessional (or just plain wrong) to expect us to examine our colleagues. We are supposed to wear a sports bra and biking-type shorts (for girls; just shorts or boxers for the guys) and a patient gown. Obviously we've all seen tons of bodies before...but I'm a really private person and am uncomfortable exposing so much during an assessment by a fellow student! Am I just being over sensitive?
