The registrant was previously found to have committed professional misconduct by failing to obtain informed consent and conducting inappropriate physical examinations of two patients.
At the penalty hearing, the Tribunal accepted a joint submission on penalty.
The registrant was ordered to be reprimanded, suspended for five months, complete an ethics and boundaries course, and pay $30,000 in costs.
The Tribunal found the penalty met the goals of public protection, deterrence, and remediation, noting the registrant's lack of prior discipline and proactive remedial efforts.
