Med Student Caught Playing Doctor


A medical student at the Kokkola Health Centre treated patients despite lacking the proper training, reports the newspaper Keskipohjanmaa. The student worked for six months before being caught.
The imposter had reportedly been studying medicine for three years. Officials say the student, who had worked for the health care staffing firm MedOne and the Kokkola Health Centre, should not have been allowed to work so independently.
The medical student was caught in early September after authorities became suspicious of the student’s capabilities. The National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health (VALVIRA) investigated the case.
The Kokkola Health Centre will now decide whether to review the medical cases handled by the student.
