Unfortunately for her, my colleagues and I are in medical education. She was appropriately "removed from all clinical duties" and an investigation is now underway. I'll give you one guess how this will end. While I no longer sit on our equivalent of the "court" I do sit on our equivalent of the "appellate court" (if a student appeals a dismissal, the appeal comes before me). Today I spoke with physician, nursing, and PA faculty. All agreed she is toast. I am certain my counterparts in the hospital feel the same way. You appear determined to defend this young woman. Why, I neither know nor care. You are in denial if you think she is not going down. It's call "unprofessional conduct" and it is cause for termination. The case will certainly have to go through formal reviews and appeals but the conclusion is not in doubt. 
We'll never get the full details but it's foolish to assume it's a forgone conclusion after asking a few people. By 4th year "Clinical duties" may in fact be elective rotations and mean very little.
I'm defending the process and commitment programs make to physician development, not her actions. Compared to the DUIs, bar brawls, inappropriate medical decision making, "lack of insight", and host of other more important mistakes medical careers survive she's got more than an adequate chance of completing 4th year.
If board certified, chances improve even more. Hopefully she wasn't partying all the time, LOL!
People can be too reactive in high profile cases before taking the time to review what guidelines they're bound to by the ACGME. Once people realize there's a process (and they aren't untouchable) calmer heads usually prevail. Programs also realize terminated residents (regardless of reason) affect rank order lists. Saying "We would fully support the decision to complete 4th year in another program and not impede the process in any manner" would be better for all parties. That's not the same as a termination and losing the matching funds. I'm intentionally ignoring losing a 4th year resident because by then it's probably electives.
In terms of social media. People are still in denial about how much weight its given. One friend reviews all social media of people who apply where he works and eliminates anyone drinking, at a party, or even with friends who are repeatedly drinking.
