I finished my internship year successfully, but had a personality conflict with new program director during my PGY 2 year. He put me on probation without good reason and I tried to fight back complaining to the head of the department. The program director was pissed off by this and found some reason to force me resign. I have the support from several highly reputed attendings from the department. I have evidence that the program director behaved contrary to due process. Is it worth taking legal action against the program or program director? What's my chance to get a position in a new program. Thank you for your advice.
This is more up aPD's line of work, but there's probably not enough info you've given us to answer your questions. There are several threads in the General Residency forum addressing some of these issues as well. Bottom line is that legal action is a tough approach to go, time consuming and potentially costly. If there is any way to get a new position without suing, that would be best, but, every situation is different. An initial consult with a lawyer is not necessarily expensive though.
