An Ontario surgeon's licence has been suspended for 18 months after a disciplinary tribunal found that he directed a female colleague to perform an exam on his genitals for the second time in his more than 30-year career.
As the 2023 incident marked the second time the OPSDT had to discipline Iannantuono for inappropriate behavior, they handed down what they called a “significant” penalty, an 18-month suspension of his license. It also mandated the surgeon receive individualized instruction in professionalism and ethics and therapy with a College-approved mental health professional.
Since the incident, Iannantuono has completed a professional ethics course through the Centre for Personalized Education for Professionals, receiving an unconditional pass, the committee noted in its reasonings.
When he returns to practice, he must submit to “continuous observation” by another appointed healthcare professional, who will submit monthly logs of patient encounters to the College. In his office, a notice must be displayed informing patients of the circumstances.
