If the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) Dismissed your Complaint, you can still Seek Compensation for Your Injuries
A complaint to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is different than a civil claim. The CPSO has the authority to reprimand a physician for their conduct, though they do not have the authority to order compensation be paid to you. Thus, this can only happen if a civil action has been commenced.
