The ruling on a medical student exposing the private parts of women during an examination

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a student in the Faculty of Medicine, and it is necessary for a medical student in our fourth year to examine women and their private parts in a practical exam. If he refuses to do so, he fails and does not pass. So what should be done? Knowing that our country is in need of a Muslim doctor, is this one of the necessities?

Answer:
No, this is not one of the necessities. Treat men and work with men. As for women, women treat them and work with them.
