Supreme Court of Texas

Decision by the court of appeals, holding that a resident physician, working at a public hospital under an agreement with his private medical school, may not take an interlocutory appeal as though he were a state employee, is reversed as, under the Texas Health and Safety Code, a resident physician at a private medical school is to be treated like a state employee for purposes of section 51.014(5) when the underlying litigation arises from a residency program coordinated through a supported medical school at a public hospital.
