On February 15, 2023, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“the Committee,” “ICRC”) considered the information obtained during an investigation into Varun Vasudeva’s conduct and practice following a complaint made by a former patient. After reviewing this information, the Committee identified certain concerns with V Vasudeva’s conduct and practice in the areas of: professional boundaries, patient communication, informed consent, patient-centered care, sensitive practice, and professional ethics. Because of these concerns, the Committee decided to require V Vasudeva to complete a Specified Continuing Educational or Remediation Program (“SCERP”) focused on the concerns identified and attend before the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee to receive a caution. 

On April 26, 2023, Varun Vasudeva requested a review of the Committee’s decision by the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (the “Board”). On December 3, 2024, the Board released its decision to uphold the decision of the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee.

On December 20, 2024, Varun Vasudeva applied for judicial review of Inquiries, Complaints, Reports Committee's and Board's decisions. On May 23, 2025, the Divisonal Court heard Varun Vasudeva's application for judicial review. The Court decided to dismiss this application and direct Varun Vasudeva to pay $3,500 in costs to the College.

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.
