Article #4 Rhetorical Precis

In the article “Muslim women and medical students in the clinical encounter “ (2010), Michelle McLean et al. assert that Muslim women refuse to receive care from male medical students.  They support their claim conducting interviews of the female Emirati nationals attending out-patient clinics at a public hospital in Al Ain.  The purpose of this article was to prove medical professionals need to be sensitive to religious and cultural issues in order to appeal to different cultures such as Muslim women.  The article was for audiences in the medical profession because employees will encounter people from various backgrounds with different belief systems.
