Report recommends sweeping changes to B.C.'s dental surgeon regulations after ‘ongoing dysfunction’ GlobeBC
British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix, seen above, asked Harry Cayton last year to review the administrative and operational practices of the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia, and the province’s health professions act.
"It finds the college has an underlying culture of resistance to being fully focused on the safety of patients and provides evidence of significant ongoing dysfunction at the college, including ... advocacy of the profession over the public interest.” Mr. Dix said the government has accepted the report’s recommendations for the dental college and directed it to come up with an implementation plan within 30 days.The college said in a statement on Thursday that it accepts the report and its recommendations.
Vancouver lawyer Peter Gall conducted a confidential review for the college of its investigation into then-registrar and chief executive officer, Jerome Marburg, after a dentist accused Mr. Marburg of sexually inappropriate comments.
