Sentence cut for failed medical student who worked as intern
Zhi Sin Lee won her appeal to have her two-year intensive corrections order reduced by six months: District Court of NSW
A failed medical student ordered to serve two years of community detention for practising as an intern for seven months has had her sentence reduced, AHPRA reports.
Zhi Sin Lee was sentenced to a two-year prison term, to be served as an intensive corrections order, and fined $10,000 in January.
Ms Lee had pleaded guilty to falsely claiming to be qualified to practise medicine, in the charge brought by AHPRA.
She had accepted an internship at Sydney’s Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital, despite failing six core subjects in the final year of her medical degree.
