One of the other students in my class has given all of our quiz, homework, worksheets, and exam (including our midterm and final) answers from last term to the class behind us because one of the girls in that class is her friend. While I have no problem helping others to learn the material, I do have a problem with outright cheating. As a medical professional, we are expected to adhere to a certain code of ethics. I find this type of dishonesty to be highly unethical and feel it shows a lack of integrity. I tried to resolve this by telling her that what she did isnt really helping anyone. That its easy to memorize the answers, but that doesnt truly help the others to learn the coursework. Its not a fair assessment of their comprehension of the material and it certainly isnt fair to future patients who may be put at risk because of their incompetence. I know I would not be comfortable with them as my ST if it was my surgery or the surgery of my child. So my question is, what would you do? I feel like I should speak to our instructor but I dont want it to appear that I am being malicious in any way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
