On brief review, Solianny Kennerly was an internal medicine resident from 2013 to 2016, in North Carolina. Her petition provides a long list of discriminatory infractions related to race, gender, and pregnancy. There are issues of what seem to be persuasive arguments of false documentation, retaliation, ACGME violations, and failed due process. It appears that this case went pretty quickly to legal mediation.
Despite Dr. Kennerly being accused of a litany of issues including unprofessionalism, knowledge base deficits, patient care lapses and many other issues leading to probations and remediations, Doximity shows her to have completed residency, to be licensed in two states, and to be board certified in internal medicine.
In a recurring theme, certain programs attempt to destroy a resident by convincing faculty, CCC members, grievance committees, licensing boards and others that a resident is incompetent and incapable of becoming a safe physician. It is interesting to follow such residents and find them to succeed in other programs (or their own if given an unbiased chance), to become licensed and board certified in their fields. What is the percentage of false negatives in which certain programs identify a resident as incompetent? What are those implications for program competency, ACGME validity, and personal impact on those physicians?
