Past Tribunal Proceedings (2)
Dr. Swaran Kaur Syan, a family physician with a cosmetic practice who graduated from medical school at Punjabi University, breached a past Order of the Discipline Committee that had suspended her certificate of registration when she saw 11 patients in May 2015.
On April 14, 2015, a prior Panel of the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Syan had committed an act of professional misconduct in that she had failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession in respect of 20 patients. The Committee directed the Registrar to suspend Dr. Syan’s certificate of registration for a period of two months commencing on April 14, 2015.
On May 4, 2015, Dr. Syan saw four patients in her cosmetic practice, and on May 5, 2015, she saw a further seven patients. Dr. Syan saw all of these patients in breach of the April 2015 Order of the Discipline Committee which had suspended her certificate of registration. The Committee in the present case found that, in breaching the April 2015 Order, Dr. Syan engaged in an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional.
