Public Register Notices

SCERP
1/22/2024
On December 4, 2023, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee,” “the ICRC”) of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (“the College”) made a decision regarding the practice and conduct of the College registrant Jean-Paul Desjardins. The Committee’s decision followed an investigation into a complaint made by a former patient. After reviewing this information, the Committee identified concerns with Jean-Paul Desjardins’ practice in the areas of patient safety, informed consent and record keeping. In order to address these concerns, the Committee decided to require that Jean-Paul Desjardins complete a Specified Continuing Education or Remediation Program (“SCERP”). The SCERP will require Jean-Paul Desjardins to work with a practice enhancement coach and review College standards and resources on patient safety, informed consent and record keeping. 

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.

The SCERP will require Jean-Paul Desjardins to work with a practice enhancement coach and review College standards and resources on patient safety, informed consent and record keeping. In addition, the Committee decided that Jean-Paul Desjardins should attend before a panel of the ICRC on a date specified by the Registrar to be cautioned regarding the concerns identified in the area of patient safety.

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.
