Our office does not have any objections to hijabs. We only asked Ms. Khan to wear a separate clean hijab (office worn only) or wear a sanitary head cover over her hijab while seeing patients in the office just like we require all employees to wear scrubs and not street clothes in the office when treating patients. Ms. Khan did not find this suitable and she then walked out on her own accord. She was in a training phase and was never terminated from our office. In fact, our office contacted her on the same day she walked out of the office and offered to continue her training program. Ms. Khan elected not to respond and decided to take a different approach that steers a focus away from her goal to learn dentistry so that one day she may become a dentist.
