A Hearing Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia has accepted the 2015 Settlement Agreement advanced by the College and Dr. Stephen Harley and recommended by an Investigation Committee of the College pursuant to section 51 of the Medical Act. Dr. Harley has admitted to breaching the 2013 Settlement Agreement with the College and that such breach constitutes professional misconduct within the meaning of the Medical Act. Dr. Harley has consented to the revocation of his licence to practise medicine in Nova Scotia. The revocation is effective as of November 3, 2014, the date when Dr. Harley admitted his breach to the College.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia announced today that the medical license of Dr. Stani Osif of Sydney Mines was revoked as of June 27, 2010 because Dr. Osif had failed to comply with conditions imposed by a Hearing Committee on June 26, 2008. In its decision, the Committee specified that Dr. Osif was required, within two years of its decision, to successfully complete a College-approved medical re-education program, including passing the Canadian College of Family Physicians Certification Examinations. The Committee indicated that a failure to meet these conditions would lead to the revocation of Dr. Osif's medical license and the removal of her name from the Nova Scotia medical register.
