A brief post. The above image is on the Facebook page for a 2014 charity calendar, Medemoiselles, and features female medical students. Last year the calendar featured male medical students in their underwear.

This morning it was tweeted by one of the medical students pictured. Here are her own thoughts on the response to the calendar.

I don't like being all political and participating in debates but I have to express my feelings about the calendar.. pic.twitter.com/nLioVnLaWd

Is the calendar unprofessional? Is it inappropriate for medical students to take of their clothes for a charity calendar? What are your thoughts?
