At the sentencing hearing, Judge Hilary Manley called for an inquiry into how the GMC registered her as a doctor when the documents she submitted were "clearly false".

Klinghoffer was driving a black GMC Yukon at the corner of West Main Street and South Meridian Avenue when he turned left at the intersection while 47-year-old Sanchez was walking in a marked crosswalk.

The GMC took over the regulation of physician associates and anaesthetic associates in December.

When the government appointed the GMC to regulate PAs and AAs last year, the regulatory body's chief executive Charlie Massey said it would help to ensure they "have the necessary education and training, meet our standards, and can be held to account if serious concerns are raised".

Government legislation governing PA and AA regulation means GMC registration will not become a legal requirement for PAs and AAs to be able to practise until December 2026.
