Effective 12:01 am on May 10, 2023, Dr. Sharma must cease to practice until he has obtained a College-approved Clinical Supervisor. As from 12:01 a.m., May 10, 2023, by order of the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, the following terms, conditions and limitations are imposed on the certificate of registration held by Dr. Vijay Sharma: Clinical Supervision 1. Dr. Sharma shall practise only under the guidance of a clinical supervisor or clinical supervisors acceptable to the College (the "Clinical Supervisor(s)"), who shall execute the undertaking in Appendix "B" and on the terms set out in paragraphs [a] to [e] below: a. Dr. Sharma shall be directly observed by the Clinical Supervisor(s) at all times when providing anesthesia care, throughout the procedure and including pre-anesthetic assessment, induction, maintenance, and emergence, and/or until transfer of accountability to another health professional; b. Dr. Sharma shall cooperate fully with the Clinical Supervisor(s) and shall abide by all recommendations made by his Clinical Supervisor(s) to maintain patient safety. Without limiting the foregoing, if during or after an observation or a chart review, the Clinical Supervisor(s) is or are of the view that Dr. Sharma's conduct or care exposes or likely exposes a patient or patients to harm or injury, Dr. Sharma shall immediately comply with any recommendation by the Clinical Supervisor(s) to protect the patient(s) from harm or injury; c. Dr. Sharma shall meet on a weekly basis with the Clinical Supervisor(s), at which time the Clinical Supervisor(s) shall review each patient chart of Dr. Sharma and discuss with Dr. Sharma any concerns arising from this review; d. The Clinical Supervisor shall perform any other duties, such as reviewing other documents or conducting interviews with staff or colleagues, that the Clinical Supervisor(s) deem necessary to the clinical supervision; and e. The Clinical Supervisor(s) shall submit a written report to the College at least once every two (2) weeks, or immediately if they have formed concerns about Dr. Sharma's standard of practice or that Dr. Sharma's patients may be exposed to harm or injury. 2. If at any time after this Order takes effect Dr. Sharma has not delivered an executed undertaking(s) by a College-approved Clinical Supervisor(s) in the form set out at Appendix "B", Dr. Sharma must cease to practise medicine until he has done so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a person who has given such an undertaking is unable or unwilling to continue to fulfil its provisions, Dr. Sharma may not practise medicine other than under clinical supervision and must cease to practise medicine until clinical supervision is in place. 3. If Dr. Sharma is required to cease to practise medicine as a result of section 2 above, this will be a term, condition or limitation on his Certificate of Registration, and be included on the public register. Monitoring 4. Dr. Sharma shall, within three (3) days of the date of this Order, inform the College of each and every location at which he practises, delegates controlled acts, or has privileges, including but not limited to any hospitals, offices, and any Out-of-Hospital Premises or Independent Health Facilities with which he is affiliated, in any jurisdiction (collectively, his "Practice Location" or "Practice Locations"). Going forward, he shall inform the College of any and all new Practice Locations within three (3) days of beginning practice at that location. 5. The College may share this Order with the Chief of Staff, Medical Director, or an equivalent individual at any of Dr. Sharma's Practice Locations, and may share any information underlying this Order with such an individual if deemed necessary for the purpose of monitoring and facilitating Dr. Sharma's compliance with the Order or fulfilling the Clinical Supervisor's undertaking. 6. Dr. Sharma shall consent to disclosure to the College by his Clinical Supervisor(s) and by staff, Chiefs of Staff, Medical Directors, or physicians at any location where he practises of any information necessary to fulfil the Clinical Supervisor's undertaking or to monitor and facilitate Dr. Sharma's compliance with the Order. 7. Dr. Sharma shall consent to any of his Clinical Supervisors disclosing to any other of his Clinical Supervisors any information that is relevant to the Order, to the Clinical Supervisor's Undertaking, or to Dr. Sharma's compliance with the Order. 8. Dr. Sharma shall cooperate fully with College representatives for the purpose of monitoring his compliance with the Order, including but not limited to providing any requested documentation within specified timelines. 9. Dr. Sharma shall within five (5) days of this Order provide the College with his irrevocable consent in the form attached at Appendix "C" to make appropriate enquiries of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan to monitor his compliance with this Order. 10. Dr. Sharma shall cooperate with unannounced inspections of his Practice Locations by College representatives for the purpose of monitoring compliance with the Order. 11. Dr. Sharma shall be responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, charges, or expenses arising from implementation of this Order.
