Caution

As a result of its investigation of a formal complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Bojcic as follows:

•    As set out in the College’s practice advisory on the Prevention of Sexual Impropriety in the Dental Office (November 2003), which was in force at the time of this conduct, the onus is on the dentist to establish and maintain appropriate boundaries with staff and patients. In addition, as set out in the College’s current practice advisory on the Prevention of Sexual Abuse and Boundary Violations (November 2015), “[t]he dentist-patient relationship is based on integrity, respect, trust and consideration of the dignity of the patient.” The panel agrees that these elements are also essential to an employer-employee relationship. In this case, the member breached his professional obligation to establish and maintain professional boundaries; he massaged the shoulders of his staff members and touched others on the arm or shoulder area. At the very least, this conduct represents boundary crossings. Boundary crossings or violations are often the slippery slope that leads to more significant boundary crossings and/or sexual abuse. The member is cautioned that as a regulated health professional, it is incumbent upon him to establish and maintain professional boundaries with staff members and staff members who may also be patients, in all interactions. The panel cautions the member that an employer massaging his staff member’s shoulders and/or arms is never appropriate workplace behaviour.

•    A dentist is distinguished not only by their cognitive and clinical skills, but also by their commitment to professionalism in their interactions with staff members and patients. The hallmark of a professional dentist is the ability to develop and maintain professional relationships with staff members and patients. Care and effort must be taken to demonstrate respect and consideration in professional interactions, even in stressful circumstances, such as the dissolution of a practice. Dr. Bojcic is cautioned about his obligation to maintain his professionalism and not allow a business dispute to negatively affect employer/employee relationships and the professional organization of the practice.  The member is cautioned about his obligations as an employer dentist to establish and maintain a positive work environment. Staff members and patients should not be drawn into business disputes.

•    As noted in the College’s practice advisory, Guidance on the Use of Social Media, “[M]aintaining professional boundaries in all forms of communication, technology-related or not, is vital to maintaining the public trust and appropriate professional relationships with patients and staff.”  Further, the College’s practice advisory on the Prevention of Sexual Abuse and Boundary Violations, notes that the workplace should not include the posting or distribution of sexually suggestive jokes, posters, pictures and/or documents which may be offensive to patients and/or staff. While the member’s Facebook posts were not displayed in the office, these sexually suggestive jokes and picture were available on-line to staff, patients and the general public and a sexually suggestive email was sent to a staff member. The member is cautioned about his obligation to ensure that he establishes and maintains professional boundaries in all forms of communication which would include his on-line presence and email communication. Regardless as to the origin of the photographs, the member is cautioned about his decision to re-post unprofessional, sexually overt photographs on his Facebook page which was linked to his dental practice and his decision to send a sexually suggestive email to a staff member.

As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Frank Bojcic as follows:

The Committee is seriously concerned with your diagnostic approach and clinical treatment on this matter. The Committee strongly considered referring you to the Discipline Committee. It is your responsibility to fully and comprehensively treat the dental issues of your patients. Where you are unable to complete treatment or fully address their concerns, you must promptly refer patients to specialists who may be better able to assist them. This is especially the case where you face recurring issues and cannot fully diagnose or address the issue. You must also be more diligent in your restorative and endodontic treatment. Ensure that cavities are appropriately diagnosed, prioritized, and treated. The Committee expects that you will take seriously the courses prescribed for you, and use this opportunity to improve these areas of your practice.
