Oregon Health & Science University will pay $585,000 to settle a federal lawsuit that accused "TikTok Doc" Jason Campbell, MD, of sexual harassment, .

A social worker accused Campbell of sending her "sexually charged" texts and social media messages, and physically assaulting her, while he was an anesthesiology resident at OHSU. The allegations led to fallout at TIME'S UP Healthcare, over concerns that a founding member didn't address the accuser's complaints appropriately.

In a statement, OHSU also apologized to the woman who brought the charges, saying that it "recognizes the need to address systemic structures that allow inappropriate and damaging behavior to exist, and is committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment that is free of harassment and discrimination."

The university also referenced an independent investigation -- which is being conducted by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and his Washington, D.C.-based firm Covington & Burling, -- that will "deeply examine these matters."

"OHSU welcomes the plaintiff's participation in the independent investigation, while acknowledging that doing so may be re-traumatizing," the statement said.

, an OHSU investigation conducted last August concluded that Campbell violated its harassment policy and code of conduct, and he resigned from his residency there in October. He secured a new residency at University of Florida Health, but the organization placed him on leave when the charges were brought in February.

University of Florida Health has not returned a request for comment from 番茄社区app as of press time.

The social worker who brought the case, known only as "A.B.," has not been named. She is an employee of the nearby VA Medical Center, which Campbell had access to as a resident. In the OHSU statement, she said she would "like to thank those who supported her during this process."

The TIME'S UP Healthcare fallout stemmed from A.B.'s accusations in the complaint that Esther Choo, MD, MPH, an emergency physician at OHSU and a founding member of the healthcare group, did not report Campbell's behavior. At least 10 other founding members of the group resigned in protest.

Through a spokeswoman, Choo told the Oregonian that she wasn't a mandatory reporter because the social worker wasn't an OHSU student and Campbell wasn't under her immediate supervision.

Campbell became widely known for his dancing in scrubs in TikTok videos, but he has since deleted his account.
