Glass Pharms’ Post

There are 13 provincial physician licensing bodies in Canada, and many more for other health professionals, as opposed to one in many other countries, which limits the free movement of healthcare workers across provincial bodies. To practice, you must apply to every province for a new license. There is no reciprocity between Colleges in terms of licenses and sharing information which is wasteful and inefficient. The reason this anomaly persists is political and social, and there is no logical justification for that. #healthcare #regulation #colleges #img #patientsafety #licensing #physicianlicensing #politics #social https://lnkd.in/eKHbud-w

How can educational institutions extend their influence beyond their campuses to reshape and contribute to public welfare? As a part of our CSR initiative, the Department of Student Support Services (DoSSS) at Alliance University, in collaboration with the Bengaluru District Police, organized an awareness session on World Drug Day 2024, or International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking by the United Nations, under the theme “The evidence is clear: invest in prevention” at Anekal, Bengaluru. Police Inspector Sri Tippeswamy, Anekal Sub-Division, discussed the rise of drug abuse, particularly among youth, its detrimental effects, and the legal aspects surrounding it. Dr.Viswanathaiah Matam, Registrar at Alliance University, emphasized the preventive measures against drug abuse and reiterated the university's commitment to combating this issue for the welfare of society. By engaging with local law enforcement agencies and leveraging their expertise, this initiative promoted awareness of substance abuse's legal and social ramifications. We express our gratitude to Mr. Karilappa, KSRTC Traffic Controller, for his support in facilitating the organizers to utilize the bus station space at Anekal, ensuring the smooth conduct of this event. As per the United Nations, "By resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987, the General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an international society free of drug abuse."

Spot the difference. In Leontowicz v The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, 2024 CanLII 36942 (ON HPARB), (a case we have posted on previously) an applicant was denied registration by the regulator for physicians for one incident of violent sex that went beyond the consent provided and left the woman bruised. In Applicant 18 (Re), 2024 LSBC 12 (CanLII), https://lnkd.in/g9FnCwrM , an applicant was granted permission to be an articling student despite a period of extensive sexual harassment. The regulator’s decision says, in part: “Over the next months, the nature of the Applicant’s messages [on Snapchat] became more sexual and escalated to having a more violent sexual nature. Undeterred by the Complainant blocking his Snapchat account, the Applicant created four or five new anonymous Snapchat accounts and continued to send unwelcome, explicit, threatening and aggressive sexual content, including nude photos of himself.” The woman left campus and had panic attacks for months. Both applicants were students at the time of the events. Both incidents occurred years ago. Both sought professional help. Both suggested that they were now of good character. Both offered letters of reference (the medical applicant providing more such letters). Was the difference in outcomes because of the difference in professions (medicine vs law), because of the difference in the nature and extent of the apologies offered, because only one involved physical violence, and/or something else? Note that the legal applicant’s name was also not disclosed. CanLII #professionalregulation
