Public Register Notices

SCERP
11/25/2021
On October 7, 2021, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee”) made a decision regarding information it obtained about the practice and conduct of Richard (Rick) Thibodeau. After considering the results of the College’s investigation, the Committee identified concerns with R Thibodeau’s conduct in the areas of professional boundaries, unprofessional behaviour and professional ethics as it relates to the supervision of and working with students on clinical placements.
The Committee decided that its concerns were significant enough to require that R Thibodeau complete a Specified Continuing Education or Remediation Plan (“SCERP”), which will include successful completion of a one-on-one educational program with a professional ethics coach and providing proof to the College that R Thibodeau has completed a review of relevant College resources.

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.

Caution

On October 7, 2021, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee”) made a decision regarding information it obtained about the practice and conduct of Richard (Rick) Thibodeau. After considering the results of the College’s investigation, the Committee identified concerns with R Thibodeau’s conduct in the areas of professional boundaries, unprofessional behaviour and professional ethics as it relates to the supervision of and working with students on clinical placements.

The Committee decided that its concerns were significant enough to require that R Thibodeau complete a Specified Continuing Education or Remediation Plan (“SCERP”). Following successful completion of the terms of the SCERP, R Thibodeau is required to attend before the Committee to receive a caution regarding the issues raised in this investigation and to reinforce the learning from the SCERP.

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.
