An Edmonton doctor has been found guilty of unprofessional misconduct after repeatedly failing to respond to correspondence from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.

Dr. Kevin Mowbrey was found guilty after staff from the college’s professional conduct department tried, on eight different occasions through both mail and email, to communicate with Mowbrey about an inquiry into his conduct.

That inquiry, according to the hearing tribunal, was related to a complaint about Mowbrey involving a suspicious prescription.

“Once a complaint is in process, the Complaint Inquiry Co-ordinator identifies the matter to the regulated member by sending a letter outlining the complaint and requesting a response. This step completes the inquiry stage of the process and allows the investigation into the complaint to be initiated,” the tribunal’s decision states.

“An investigator is only assigned after the CPSA receives a response from the regulated member. No investigation was ever commenced into Dr. Mowbrey in relation to the prescription because the Complaints Director never received a reply from Dr. Mowbrey.”
