Drexel University had an academic agreement with Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia to train medical students and residents there. The seven physicians allege Drexel did not give them enough notice they were being terminated after Hahnemann closed in September, according to the report.

The physicians are seeking payment through June 30 plus damages, according to the report.
