Date of Decision: 11 Jul 2007
Summary of Decision:
On July 11, 2007, the Discipline Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, found Dr. John David Stewart to have committed an act of professional misconduct in that he failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession. The Committee ordered the following:

1. The Discipline Committee directs the Registrar to suspend Dr. Stewart's certificate of registration for a period of twelve (12) weeks commencing immediately, but giving credit to the period of suspension from June 9, 2007 to July 11, 2007, so that the suspension will cease on September 4, 2007 at 12:01 a.m.;

2. The Discipline Committee directs that the following terms, conditions and limitations be placed on Dr. Stewart s certificate of registration:
(a) Dr. Stewart may not practise more than 2 1/2 days per week divided between University of Toronto Health Services (UTHS) and Parexel/Mankind Pharmaceuticals, or other setting approved by the College;

(b) Dr. Stewart will not remove any patient charts from the office in which they are located;

(c) Dr. Stewart shall complete all patient charts within 24 hours of seeing the patient;

(d) Dr. Stewart shall follow-up on all laboratory results within 7 days of receiving the results;

(e) Dr. Stewart will remain enrolled in the PHP and will abide by its recommendations;

(f) Dr. Stewart shall only practise at UTHS or other clinical practice setting acceptable to the College under the supervision of a clinical monitor acceptable to the College who has signed an undertaking acceptable to the College. The practice monitor shall review Dr. Stewart s charts at least once a week to ensure that his charts are up to date, his referrals are timely and he is following up on laboratory results within one week of receiving the results. The monitor will report to the College bi-weekly or earlier should he/she find that Dr. Stewart has failed to comply with any of the conditions in this order. All of the monitoring and reporting will be at Dr. Stewart s expense;

(g) Should the College receive a report from the practice monitor indicating that Dr. Stewart is not in compliance with any of the conditions in this order, the College may immediately suspend his certificate of registration, such suspension to take effect immediately until the practice monitor shall report to the College that, to his/her satisfaction, Dr. Stewart has become current on his notes, reports and letters and is in compliance with this order at which time the College shall reinstate his certificate of registration; and

(h) Dr. Stewart will assist the College in monitoring his compliance with this order by allowing a College representative to interview his staff and inspect his office from time to time, at his expense.

3. The Discipline Committee orders Dr. Stewart to pay to the College costs in the amount of $2,500.00, within 60 days of his return to practice following the period of suspension.
