in this case to require him to incur
the expense to travel to Ontario for a
brief appearance before the Panel.
The Panel believed that there is a
value to course work for this Member.
Education and learning is always
of benefit, regardless of one’s level of
seniority and experience. The Panel
believed it is necessary for the Member
to fully appreciate the impact of
his behaviour, and that course work
is rehabilitative and instructive. The
Panel acknowledged the boundary
training that the Member underwent
in Arizona, but believed there is added
value in the Member attending the
“Applied Ethics in Pharmacy Practice”
course offered at the University
of Toronto. The Panel therefore
ordered the successful completion
of this course as a specified term,
condition or limitation on the Member’s
Certificate of Registration. This
course will ensure that the Member
thoroughly understands his ethical
responsibilities as a pharmacist and
his participation in a regulated health
profession.
The Panel accepted the $10,000
costs recommendation and set the
deadline for payment in line with the
timeline for scheduling the reprimand.
To address the Panel’s concerns
about the suspension being able to
be served without any effort on the
part of the Member, the Panel made
it a requirement that the suspension
period cannot be triggered until
the Member receives the reprimand,
physically attends in Ontario for the
course work, and pays the costs as
ordered.
Order
1. A reprimand to be scheduled and
received by the Member within 60
days of the Order, by teleconference
or in person;
2. Terms, conditions, and limitations
on the Member’s Certificate of
Registration, and in particular, that
the Member complete successfully,
at his own expense, within 12
months of the date of the Order,
Applied Ethics in Pharmacy Practice,
offered by Professor Zubin
Austin at the Leslie Dan Faculty
of Pharmacy at the University of
Toronto;
3. Costs to the College of $10,000;
and
4. A suspension of six months, with
the suspension to commence only
after the Member has complied
with the rest of the Order and
has declared his intention to return
to the practice of pharmacy in
Ontario.
This Order was in effect as of February
17, 2009, the date of the hearing.
