CPSA cancels practice permit of a former AHS Medical Officer

Sep 5, 2024 | 6:00 AM

The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta hearing tribunal has ordered the cancellation of a former AHS North Zone Medical Officer’s pratice permit and registration.

Albert de Villiers had his practice permit and registration cancelled as CPSA’s Complaint Director initiated a complaint about de Villiers following his criminal conviction.

de Villiers was found guilty by the Alberta Court of Kings Bench of sexual interference of a person under the age of 16 in 2023.

He is currently incarcerated and was ordered to pay 100 per cent of the costs of the CPSA’s investigation and hearing.
