Academic & Employment Defense: Medical Student & Resident Due Process Hearings and Hospital Employment Claims

When a medical school or residency program issues a remediation plan, suspension, or dismissal for academic or professional misconduct, ensuring procedural due process is paramount to protecting the institution from costly litigation. Waranch & Brown defends medical schools and teaching hospitals in internal administrative hearings, full due process hearings, appeals, and subsequent court challenges. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of the unique standards governing medical education, including credentialing requirements and institutional guidelines. We work closely with Designated Institutional Officials (DIOs), graduate medical education (GME) committees, and university counsel to ensure that your disciplinary panels are sound, your student handbooks are strictly followed, and your institution’s academic integrity remains uncompromised.

Waranch & Brown also defends hospitals, health systems, and medical schools against a full spectrum of employment claims, include wage payment and collection actions, nursing contractual disputes, wrongful termination claims, and discrimination lawsuits from inception through appeal at both the state and federal levels.
