Swati Sethi

5/5/2022

On January 18, 2022, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee,” “ICRC”) of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (the “College”) made a decision regarding information it obtained through an investigation into the practice and conduct of Swati Sethi. The College’s investigation followed a complaint that was submitted by Medavie Blue Cross, an insurer. After considering the results of the College’s investigation, the Committee identified serious concerns with S Sethi’s practice and as a result, the Committee also decided that the concerns were serious enough to require S Sethi to appear before the ICRC in order to be cautioned about S Sethi’s conduct and their professional obligations.

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.

On January 18, 2022, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee,” “ICRC”) of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (the “College”) made a decision regarding information it obtained through an investigation into the practice and conduct of Swati Sethi. The College’s investigation followed a complaint that was submitted by an insurer. After considering the results of the College’s investigation, the Committee identified serious concerns with S Sethi’s practice and as a result, the Committee decided that S Sethi will be required to complete a Specified Continuing Education or Remediation Program (SCERP) focused on fees/billing, record keeping and patient care. 

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.
