BOSTON (Sept. 19) - A judge rejected a Harvard student's request Wednesday 
for extra break time during her nine-hour medical licensing exam so she could 
pump breast milk for her infant daughter.

Sophie Currier, 33, sued after the National Board of Medical Examiners turned 
down her request to take more than the standard 45 minutes in breaks during 
the exam. 

She said that if she does not nurse her 4-month-old daughter, Lea, or pump 
breast milk every two to three hours, she risks medical complications. 

Norfolk Superior Court Judge Patrick Brady said Currier has other options, 
beyond asking the board to change its rules for her. 

"The plaintiff may take the test and pass, notwithstanding what she considers 
to be unfavorable conditions. The plaintiff may delay the test, which is offered 
numerous times during the year, until she has finished her breast-feeding and 
the need to express milk," he said. 

Currier, who also has a 22-month-old son, has already received special 
accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act for dyslexia and 
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
