Dr. Barbara Knox, the embattled head of Alaska’s statewide child abuse forensic clinic, has resigned 'to pursue other opportunities':
The embattled head of Alaska’s statewide child abuse forensic clinic has resigned, Providence Alaska Medical Center said Thursday.
It wasn’t the first time Knox’s medical judgment and workplace behavior had been scrutinized. In November, Providence said it hadinto Alaska CARES after a wave of departures that included every member of the medical staff other than Knox. At the time, Providence said it was “aware of increasing concerns about the workplace environment” of the clinic.
Providence declined to answer questions about the outcome or findings of the investigation, citing confidentiality for personnel records. Alaska CARES remains open and operating, and a new medical director will be named “at a later date,” Canfield said.
