Otago medical students in limbo after exam cheating claims

Third-year medical students at the University of Otago don't yet know if they'll have to re-sit their exams after allegations of cheating. In an end-of-year practical exam, students were asked to demonstrate a clinical skill, such as examining a patient. Students were examined in batches and the Otago Medical School says students in the first session told the others what was in store. The university is now investigating which students cheated and what the consequences will be. Caitlin Barlow-Groome is the president of the Otago University Students Association. She talks to Susie Ferguson.
