Judge: Breast Feeding Medical Student Given Enough Breaks..Take The Test

Here are some facts:

  • Currier has already received special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act for dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
  • She has been granted permission to take the test over two days instead of one, but is seeking an additional 60-minute break on each day. She is scheduled to take the test Monday and Tuesday.
  • Currier has taken the test once already, in April when she was 81/2 months pregnant, but she failed by a few points.

    • Here is her arguement:

    Sophie Currier, 33, sued after the National Board of Medical Examiners turned down her request to take more than the standard 45 minutes in breaks during the exam.

    She said that if she does not nurse her 4-month-old daughter, Lea, or pump breast milk every two to three hours, she risks medical complications.

    Will she ask for extra breaks during surgery?
