East Tennessee State University’s College of Medicine has suspended the faculty member who was directing its residency program in internal medicine from administrative duties, pending an investigation into complaints that he fostered a hostile work environment and other allegations, the Johnson City Press reported. The faculty member, Hetal Brahmbhatt, remains an assistant professor at the college and is still seeing patients, a university spokesman said. The investigation followed anonymous complaints to the medical school’s accreditor accusing Dr. Brahmbhatt of favoritism to residents of Indian descent in matters such as setting work schedules, and giving those residents access to confidential information about other residents. The accreditor separately determined that some residents were working more hours than the limit. Officials of the college said they had reviewed the allegations and determined that further investigation was warranted.
