Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed. The settlement ends a legal dispute that began in 2018 after John Abraham, MD, sued the university over its investigation into misconduct allegations against him.

An attorney for Thomas Jefferson University didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Inquirer.
