Grande Prairie physician suspended after sexual relationship with patient

Jan 13, 2023 | 5:09 PM

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta has suspended a Grande Prairie family doctor after what it claims was conduct that constitutes sexual abuse under the Health Professions Act.

A CPSA Hearing Tribunal found Dr. Brianne Hudson guilty after she was accused of having a sexual relationship with a patient between August and December of 2019.

She was also found guilty by the tribunal of providing false information on a 2020 CPSA Renewal Information Form, claiming that she had not been in that type of relationship with a patient.

In February 2020, Dr. Hudson signed an agreement with the CPSA, that placed practice conditions on her permit throughout the course of the complaint and hearing process.

Those conditions included having a chaperone present for all patient interactions, including telephone appointments.
