UPenn Nursing Final Exam Mandates Students Ask Imaginary Patient For ‘Preferred Pronouns’ Or Be Docked Points

The final exam for a required nursing course at the University of Pennsylvania mandates that students identify an imaginary patient by their “preferred pronouns” or be docked a letter grade. 

Students in the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious nursing program are required to take an integrated human anatomy class in order to graduate. According to a rubric obtained by The Statesman, a student-run publication, the anatomy class final requires students to ask the preferred pronouns of an imaginary patient.
