College Disciplinary Actions

The College reports discipline matters in the next issue of the Newsletter after the disciplinary action is complete.  The College website also contains information on discipline matters that are completed and matters where charges have been laid but have not yet been completed.

There were two (2) discipline matters completed since the last Newsletter report.
 

Dr. Petrus Bierman

Dr. Bierman was charged with unprofessional conduct.  The charge alleged that he failed to respond to communications from the College.  The matter was resolved through post-charge alternative dispute resolution (ADR) when Dr. Bierman signed an undertaking agreeing to respond to future communications from the College in a timely manner. 

Dr. Evan Franko

Dr. Franko was charged with unprofessional conduct.  The charge alleged that he provided medical care to a former colleague and therefore failed to maintain appropriate professional boundaries.  The matter was resolved through post-charge alternative dispute resolution (ADR) when Dr. Franko signed an undertaking agreeing to complete a course on professional boundaries, and to not pick up, dispense, administer or otherwise handle opioid prescriptions for any patients.
