Dr. Jeffrey Reitz

The applicant, an American-trained psychiatrist recognized as a specialist by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), alleged that the CPSO's public register discriminated against him on the basis of place of origin.

The register distinguishes between specialists certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) and those recognized by the CPSO.

The applicant argued this distinction devalues CPSO specialists, who are predominantly foreign-trained.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding no evidence that the distinction on the register resulted in any adverse treatment or disadvantage to the applicant.
