Spreading misinformation does not align with a physician's professional responsibility to their patients. While we are unable to speak to individual cases, CPSA has a responsibility to Albertans to investigate regulated members who are sharing inaccurate and potentially harmful information."

The college, which regulates the practice of medicine in Alberta, has recently moved to crack down on doctors spreading misinformation.

At an emergency meeting Monday, members of the college council unanimously supported issuing a strongly worded warning letter to doctors who spread misinformation about COVID-19.

The college said it has told at least seven doctors who were spreading misinformation about COVID-19 that their behaviour was unprofessional.

Dr. Scott McLeod, registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, says it has also spoken with doctors who gave in to pressure from patients wanting an exemption letter — not grounded in clinical evidence — to avoid having to wear masks or get vaccinations.

"It's incredibly disappointing to see your profession do things that are so harmful to others," McLeod said Tuesday.

I dont understand why people do not believe USA trained doctors? they have to spend 4 YEARS in university to study for a degree and they study again for a MBBS degree. The process is extremely long.

4 hours? that’s more like a quack passing off as an md. it’s actually longer than 4 years if “4 hours” is a typo. around 6.9 years for pre-med these days due to smaller class sizes and lack of classes and instructors. then another minimum 4 years for medicine in a graduate program. takes longer now due to similar issues as above: small class sizes, lack of classes, lack of qualified instructors, longer duration due to extra safety precautions as a result of wuhan virus with south asian variant, lack of vacancies. then another 6.9 years for residency with hospital and or medical center. total: at least 16.9 years.
