Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 06 Dec 1996
Summary:
In December 1996, the Discipline Committee found Dr. Williams guilty of professional misconduct, in that he had been guilty of misconduct in a professional respect and of conduct unbecoming a medical practitioner, under what became section 34(3)(c) of the Medical Act, 1970. The Committee further found Dr. Williams guilty of professional misconduct, as defined in Ontario Regulation 448/80, as amended, in that he failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession as defined in s. 27(21); in that he committed sexual impropriety with a patient, as defined in s. 27(29); and in that he engaged in conduct or an act 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 July 1998, the Discipline Committee ordered Dr. Williams' certificate of registration to be revoked.
