College Reprimands Halifax Doctor For Improperly Prescribing Opiods

The Canadian Press, 19 Jan, 2016 11:41 AM
  • College Reprimands Halifax Doctor For Improperly Prescribing Opiods
HALIFAX — The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia has reprimanded a Halifax doctor for professional misconduct for improperly prescribing opiods.
 
The decision against Dr. Rayan Alhazmi was released Monday by the college, which is the governing body for doctors in the province.
 
As part of a settlement reached in December, Alhazmi's licence was suspended for 12 months.
 
However, Alhazmi hasn't practiced medicine since October 2014 and the college says he can apply for a licence, but will face restrictions.
 
The complaint against Alhazmi, a post-graduate trainee in internal medicine at Dalhousie University, was made in the summer of 2014 after a pharmacist identified "unusual and questionable" prescribing of opiod medications.
 
The complaint was reviewed by the province's prescription monitoring program and was referred to the college.
