Decision Date: 12 Aug 2002
Summary:
On August 12, 2002, the Discipline Committee accepted Dr. Tesher(s plea of guilty and found him
guilty of professional misconduct in that the governing body of a health profession in a
jurisdiction other than Ontario has provided records to the College evidencing that an allegation
of professional misconduct or incompetence or a similar allegation has been made against Dr.
Tesher, and that he has entered into an agreement or compromise with the governing body in order
to settle the matter without a finding of misconduct or incompetence or a similar finding being
made which would, in the opinion of the College, be an act of professional misconduct as defined
in subsection (1), or would constitute incompetence as defined in section 52 of the Health
Professions Procedural Code; and he has committed 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.

to suspend Dr. Tesher(s certificate of registration for a period of three months, starting on a
date to be fixed by the Registrar after conferring with Dr. Tesher.

ORDERS the removal of three months of the suspension if Dr. Tesher provides confirmation to the
College that he has completed the courses that he was required to take in the United States and
those courses are satisfactory to the College.

to attend before this panel to be reprimanded.
