On June 21, 2023, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee,” “the ICRC”) of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (“the College”) made a decision regarding an investigation into the conduct of Justine Choi, who at the time this matter was brought to the College’s attention was a physiotherapy resident. In considering the information obtained during the College’s investigation, the Committee identified concerns with J Choi’s practice in the areas of performing controlled acts while not rostered, unprofessional behaviour, inappropriate use of title, and record keeping. Because of the serious nature of these concerns, the Committee decided to require J Choi to attend before a panel of the ICRC to receive a caution.

Since 2017, as required by law, the College has been posting cautions on the public register. A caution is a decision made by the ICRC when a concern raised in a complaint or in a formal investigation is sufficient to require the physiotherapist to attend before a panel of the ICRC to receive feedback from the panel on how to prevent similar concerns from arising in the future. A caution does not involve a finding of wrongdoing, professional misconduct or incompetence and is not disciplinary in nature.

In considering the information obtained during the College’s investigation, the Committee identified concerns with J Choi’s practice in the areas of performing controlled acts while not rostered, unprofessional behaviour, inappropriate use of title, and record keeping. J Choi is required to address these concerns through a Specified Continuing Educational or Remediation Program (SCERP) which includes a review of College Standards and resources, complettion of an ethics course and participating in practice enhancement coaching.

Since 2017, as required by law, the College has been posting information about SCERPs on the public register. A SCERP is ordered by the ICRC when they have identified concerns regarding a physiotherapist’s practice or conduct. A SCERP is an educational program and is not a finding of wrongdoing, professional misconduct or incompetence, nor is it disciplinary in nature.
