I am presently in year 2 of a 4 year degree program in Saskatchewan. This Semester my schedule must work around the faculty for some unknown reason. Just before the X-mas break my schedule for the winter semester was sweet. I had every second thursday off school and only a 2 hr lab on fridays. Since coming back to the program in 2004 things have changed. I have been conveniently moved from one lab section to another to accomodate the instructors so that I would be paired with another male conterpart for assessment class. I was not consulted about this changed it just occured, and I am registered to take a university class on thursday, but now I have to drop it for one lab ! When I asked why I was moved, an instructor informed me that she always puts males together and females together for assessment class. I am a little confused, I successfully completed term 1 clinical roation in a hospital where I was assigned many female patients, and as far as I know, when I am a graduate I will be assessing female and male patients. Since when does gender set rules policies or regualtions in a school.....especially one that is seeking accreditation.
