Internationally regarded pathologist Jonathan I. Epstein has resigned his post at Johns Hopkins Hospital, months after he wasThe resignation came beforewhether the allegations that he bullied or intimidated others in his department were founded, Hopkins spokeswoman Liz Vandendriessche said in an email. She did not say whether that inquiry would continue given his departure.
“Johns Hopkins Hospital conducted a review of Dr. Epstein’s clinical care and did not identify any areas of concern,” the statement said, according to Epstein. He declined to elaborate on the agreement, but he said the institution had committed to giving the statement to any prospective employers who call Hopkins to ask about him.“Johns Hopkins University initiated an inquiry into allegations of professional misconduct,” the statement continued.
A private accreditation report obtained by The Post last year detailed concerns under review by the Joint Commission, a nonprofit organization that accredits hospitals. The report, which did not name Epstein, referred to him when it pointed to “a department leader” as the subject of the complaints, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke to The Post on the condition of anonymity last year to discuss the then-ongoing review.
