The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario alleged that the registrant committed professional misconduct by practising audiology while her certificate of registration was suspended.

The registrant did not attend the hearing.

The Discipline Tribunal found that the registrant provided audiology services, used the title of audiologist, and prescribed hearing aids while suspended.

The Tribunal concluded that the registrant was ungovernable and ordered the revocation of her certificate of registration, a public reprimand, and costs of $26,914.77 payable to the College.

The College alleged that the registrant, an audiologist, committed professional misconduct by practising while her certificate of registration was suspended, inappropriately using the titles of doctor and audiologist, and making inappropriate social media posts.

The registrant did not attend the hearing.

The Tribunal found that the registrant treated at least 70 patients while suspended and used restricted titles.

The Tribunal also found that one of the registrant's social media posts containing disparaging comments about the 2SLGBTQAI+ community constituted professional misconduct, while other posts were protected by freedom of expression.

Given the registrant's history of discipline, finding of ungovernability, and failure to cooperate with investigators, the Tribunal ordered the revocation of her certificate of registration, a public reprimand, and costs of $33,284.27.

The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario alleged that the registrant committed professional misconduct by practising while her certificate of registration was suspended, falsifying a patient record, and improperly calling herself a doctor of audiology.

The registrant did not attend the hearing.

The Discipline Tribunal found that the allegations were established and that the registrant's actions demonstrated she was ungovernable.

The Tribunal ordered the revocation of her certificate of registration, a public reprimand, and costs of $20,351.39.

The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario brought professional misconduct proceedings against the respondent for failing to keep proper records of her speech-language pathology services.

The respondent admitted to the misconduct.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, finding it would not bring the administration of the discipline system into disrepute.

The respondent was ordered to serve a one-month suspension, complete an individualized mentorship program and a medical record-keeping course, receive a reprimand, and pay $5,000 in costs.
