The Discipline Committee held a penalty and costs hearing following findings of professional misconduct against the Member.

The misconduct included charging misleading and discriminatory fees, failing to disclose medication ingredients, improperly using the 'Doctor' title, poor record keeping, breaching patient confidentiality, and failing to cooperate with a College investigator.

The Committee ordered a reprimand, a 10-month suspension, and terms, conditions, and limitations on the Member's certificate of registration, including ethics and record-keeping courses.

The Member was also ordered to pay $65,000 in costs to the College and a $300 fine to the Minister of Finance.

The College alleged that the members committed professional misconduct by charging an excessive fee for a traditional Chinese medicine remedy containing rhinoceros horn and by engaging in conduct unbecoming a practitioner.

The members admitted to the allegations.

The Discipline Committee accepted the agreed statement of facts and found the members guilty of professional misconduct.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a two-month suspension (which could be remitted upon completion of coursework), a public reprimand, and $4,000 in costs.
