(supervision) of some aspect of his or her practice,
without practice restrictions, the ICRC can accept an
undertaking. ICRC may decide to do this when:
• there is moderate risk;
• he physician agrees to clinical supervision; and
t
• he physician agrees to make the undertaking public.
t
The ICRC panel in such a case would determine the
level of clinical supervision and education (if required)
and determine the type and timing of reassessment
and frequency of progress reports.
In other higher-risk cases, the ICRC may deter-
mine that a physician needs to restrict his or her
practice in some respect, or must not be the most responsible physician when providing care to patients.
Physicians may also address high-risk issues by giving undertakings to cease to practise medicine until a
condition is met, or to resign their licence and never
apply for reinstatement in Ontario or apply for a licence in another jurisdiction. These undertakings have
previously been posted on the public register and will
continue to be made public.
If an undertaking cannot address the issues raised in
the ICRC’s view, it is not accepted and the ICRC determines what action is appropriate in the circumstances.
