As such, if a physician has reasonable grounds to believe that a colleague has engaged in unprofessional or unethical conduct or has provided medical care which falls below the expected standard, the physician has a legal obligation under s. 41 of the
Medical Act, 2011
to report their concerns to the College.

If a patient discloses information which leads a physician to believe that another physician has engaged in conduct deserving of sanction, the physician must provide the patient with information on how to file a complaint with the College.
If the patient does not wish to file a complaint, the physician must report the information to the Registrar, only revealing the identity of the patient if they consent.
