Dr. Khaled Rajab sanctioned by CPSA Hearing Tribunal

Edmonton, AB – Dr. Khaled Rajab, a general practitioner from Edmonton, admitted to unprofessional conduct and was sanctioned by a CPSA Hearing Tribunal.

Between 2016 to 2023, Dr. Rajab failed to adequately chart the care he provided to a patient, among other things. This included incomplete documentation of objective findings, a lack of details regarding the issues, treatment options or care plans discussed, insufficient information about the patient’s history, and inadequate reasoning to support prescribing and diagnostic decisions. Dr. Rajab also submitted inaccurate or misleading requisitions on his patient’s behalf to Alberta Blue Cross, and prescribed the patient Botox in a larger amount and at a greater frequency than was appropriate.

After Dr. Rajab learned of the complaint against him in October 2023, he amended existing entries to the patient’s chart, contravening CPSA’s Patient Record Content standard of practice.

Dr. Rajab admitted that his conduct was unprofessional and the Hearing Tribunal accepted a joint submission on sanction, which includes the following:

• Dr. Rajab will receive a reprimand.
• At his own expense, Dr. Rajab must complete a course on ethics and professionalism, and undergo an Individual Practice Review with CPSA’s Continuing Competence team.
• Dr. Rajab is responsible for 50 per cent of the costs of the investigation and hearing.
