Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 26 Oct 2011
Summary:
On October 26, 2011, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Emad ElDin Amer committed an act of professional misconduct, in that he 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.
In 2008, Dr. Amer became involved in a confrontation with members of the Credit Valley Hospital's security staff when he was unable to access his belongings from the doctors' lounge. He banged forcefully at the security office door, breaking the security office's door frame. When the door was opened, Dr. Amer entered the office. His actions were captured on a video recording. Staff report that they felt intimidated by Dr. Amer's inappropriate words and actions while in the security office.
The Discipline Committee ordered and directed that:
1. Dr. Amer appear before the panel to be reprimanded;
2. Dr. Amer pay to the College costs in the amount of $3,650.00, within 60 days of the date of this Order.
