Notice Type Discipline Findings in Other Jurisdictions
Active Date: July 17, 2018
Summary:
Where a disciplinary finding is made against a member on or after September 1, 2015 by a medical regulatory or licensing authority in a jurisdiction outside Ontario, the College By-laws require certain information about the finding to be posted on the register, if the finding is known to the College.
The following are non-Ontario disciplinary findings made against this member, as known to the College, together with the corresponding information:
On March 21, 2017, the Disciplinary Board of the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ) found Dr. Therrien guilty in respect of a complaint that he exceeded his field of competence, failed to consult to refer to a colleague or specialist, omitted an act or did an untimely act contrary to current scientific medical information, and did surgery without the necessary assistance, contrary to articles 42, 47 and 53 of the Code of Ethics of Physicians (Quebec), and article 59.2 of the Quebec Professional Code. The case involved treatment of a laceration of a young child’s eyelid. As the sanction for this finding, Dr. Therrien was struck from the CMQ’s register (i.e. suspended from practising medicine in Quebec) for a period of 6 weeks from April 24, 2017 to June 2, 2017. The College was notified of this finding by correspondence received on September 12, 2017.
