Acknowledgement and Undertaking as signed by Kang-Ming John Cheung (Registration #07398) on August 5, 2022

 

I, Kang-Ming Cheung, acknowledge and undertake as follows:

  1. I acknowledge that allegations about my practice and conduct are currently before the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC) of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (the “College”) (File 2020-0225). I also acknowledge that I currently have several requirements of a Discipline Order that are outstanding and that I am currently in breach of the Order. (File 2015-0311) 

  2. This acknowledgement and undertaking does not constitute an admission of any professional misconduct. 

  3. I acknowledge and agree that, in exchange for my providing to the College an original copy of this Undertaking executed by me, the College agrees not to proceed any further with the current investigation into my conduct and I will no longer be required to meet the requirements of the Discipline Order. 

  4. I acknowledge and agree that, in exchange for my providing to the College an original copy of this Undertaking, the ICRC will take no further action regarding the current investigation. I undertake to resign my membership and certificate of registration with the College effective August 11, 2022. 

  5. I hereby undertake never to apply or re-apply for membership, registration, licensure or similar status with the College as a physiotherapist or for a license to practice physiotherapy in Ontario. 

  6. I acknowledge that if I ever apply or re-apply, or attempt to apply or re-apply for membership, registration, licensure or similar status with the College in the future, the College will be entitled to rely upon this undertaking in any registration or other similar proceeding as reason to deny my application. 

  7. I acknowledge that if I ever apply or re-apply for membership, registration, licensure or similar status as a physiotherapist for a license to practice physiotherapy in Ontario after August 11, 2022, the ICRC has the right to continue with the investigation. 

  8. I acknowledge that after I resign my membership with the College, I will not be entitled to use the title “physiotherapist”, “physical therapist” or any abbreviation thereof or equivalent in another language. I will not be entitled to hold myself out as a person who is qualified to practice in Ontario as a physiotherapist/physical therapist and I will not be entitled to imply that I am a physiotherapist/physical therapist in Ontario. My registration number with the College will no longer be valid. 

  9. I acknowledge that the College is required to include the fact of my resignation on the College register and the College is required to publish the Undertaking in full on the public register. The College will also publish this information on its website. This publication is indefinite. 

  10. In the event of a breach of this undertaking and the College proceeds with an investigation / discipline hearing, I hereby agree to bear the risk of any prejudice that the passage of time might cause to my ability to make full answer and defence, and waive the right to seek any remedy on the basis of the passage of time, should the College proceed with the investigation and any allegations that may arise as a result of any future breach of this Undertaking by me. 

  11. I acknowledge that I have been advised of my right to obtain legal advice prior to entering into this Undertaking and have either availed myself of that right or chosen not to avail myself of that right.
