Investigations

The complaints director (CD) or associate complaints director (ACD) will determine the scope of the investigation to find out the details or facts behind a complaint and assign an investigator. As part of the investigation process, the investigator may explore any other matter that could be considered unprofessional conduct.

• The investigator will interview the complainant, any other relevant witnesses and the registrant involved.
• The investigator will submit a report to the CD.

Following the investigation, the complaint may be dismissed, or it may be forwarded to expedited alternate resolution (EAR) or a hearing, depending on whether there is sufficient evidence of unprofessional conduct (Section 66 of the Health Professions Act).
