Disciplinary action re: Dr. Salem Adnan Al Asousi

Journalists reporting on these disciplinary actions are reminded that the name and location of a registrant should be provided in full to avoid confusion with any other registrant who may have a similar name or initials.

Dr. Salem Adnan Al Asousi has admitted and/or acknowledged that he was found to have committed gross misconduct by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in July 2018.

Dr. Al Asousi was found to have committed gross misconduct by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) in July 2018 by providing false and misleading declarations about his training and prior registration history at the University of British Columbia. He revised a letter written by another physician without that physician’s knowledge or consent and provided the letter to the RCPI on June 10, 2018 misrepresenting the letter had been written by the other physician. Dr. Al Asousi gave a written, irrevocable commitment to resign as a registrant of the College and never to reapply for registration with the College, and he was formally reprimanded.

As part of the College’s investigation of this matter, relevant information was obtained from the RCPI relating to their investigation of Dr. Al Asousi’s conduct and subsequent finding of gross misconduct. The Inquiry Committee was critical of Dr. Al Asousi’s conduct characterizing it as serious in nature and determined that his written and irrevocable commitment to resign as a registrant of the College and never to reapply for registration in BC in connection with his conduct referenced herein, as well as a published reprimand in connection with his conduct referenced herein, was appropriate in the circumstances.
