None of the allegations have been proven and Glumac has not yet entered his defence.
The charges were originally levied against Glumac over a year ago and on March 6 of last year the college imposed several restrictions on him.

The notice on the college web site regarding Glumac's case alleges that between 2009 and 2012 sexually abused a patient, billed OHIP for services not rendered and did not keep proper records.
"Dr. Glumac engaged in sexual abuse and/or disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional conduct, including engaging in touching and behaviour of a sexual and/or inappropriate nature, including but not limited to hugging, caressing, groping and kissing Patient A," reads the charge against him.
It is also alleged that Glumac engaged in disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional conduct regarding potential business dealings, gifts and advice with two patients.
He also stands accused of asking the patient to not file a complaint against him.
Glumac is a graduate from Queen's University and has been an active member with the college since 1977. His practice, run under his own name, is operated at 1 Pheasant Run Dr.
Glumac previously told local media that he consults for more than 100 local family physicians for adult and child psychiatry, tackling issues such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
