Toronto gynecologist linked to infection exposure resigns from college amid investigations [Video]

A Toronto doctor under investigation after thousands of people were potentially exposed to blood-borne infections at her gynecology office has resigned from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, CBC News has learned.

The college investigated Dr. Esther Park’s care of two patients in her obstetrics and gynecology practice following two public complaints, according to the CPSO’s physician register.

“In the face of the investigations, Dr. Park has resigned from the College effective April 30, 2025, and has agreed never to apply or reapply for registration as a physician in Ontario or any other jurisdiction,” the public notification reads.

CBC Toronto was first to report on the infection risk in March.
