Ontario doctor who 'engaged in the sexual abuse of a patient' reinstated

Dr. Sugan Kayilasanathan will undergo supervision until a college-appointed expert completes an assessment of his practice

A doctor stripped of his licence to practice in 2018 for having sex with a patient has been reinstated, though he will have to do so with “at least three months of moderate-level supervision,” according to the Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal.

After that, Dr. Sugan Kayilasanathan — who in an unrelated incident was acquitted in 2011 of sexually assaulting a medical student — will undergo “a period of low-level supervision” for at least three months until a college-appointed expert completes an assessment of his practice.
