Medical College opens disciplinary proceedings against anaesthetist convicted of homicide
The Medical College of Uruguay has decided to proceed with the complaint filed against an anaesthetist who was convicted of homicide, according to Google News UY — Montevideo.
The decision means that the professional and deontological body will begin a formal process to evaluate the doctor's professional conduct, following a criminal conviction already handed down by the courts.
The Medical College's resolution represents an additional step beyond the judicial proceedings already concluded, since the institution has the authority to analyse whether the professional's conduct warrants sanctions under medical ethics, independently of what has been decided in criminal proceedings.
Details regarding the scope of the internal investigation and the timeframes envisaged for its resolution have not been disclosed thus far.
