The provincial agency that oversees the conduct of physicians says a Calgary doctor's 16 seconds of accessing of medical records of a patient that wasn't hers was unprofessional.

A tribunal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta found Dr. Jung Hwa Lee guilty of unprofessional conduct last month.

According to information from an audit included in the tribunal's decision, Lee accessed the records on June 19, 2020, beginning at 5:39:43 p.m. and concluding at 5:39:59 p.m. If the clinic had been open, it would have been easier for Lee to speak with her colleague directly and obtain the information she needed.

No matter what Lee's intentions were regarding the unauthorized access of information, the tribunal found her actions constituted unprofessional conduct.
