College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is the provincial body that regulates the practice of medicine to protect and serve the public interest.
What we do:
Registration – Physicians are required to be members of the College to practise medicine in Ontario. The College’s Registration Department handles all inquiries regarding the registration process.
Quality - The CPSO has a legislated mandate to continuously improve the quality of care provided by physicians. We monitor and maintain standards of practice through peer assessment and remediation.
Investigations & Discipline - A central responsibility of the CPSO is to respond to concerns and to investigate complaints from members of the public about doctors in Ontario. If necessary, cases are referred to the Discipline Committee.
Guiding Professional Conduct - Develop policies to provide guidance to physicians about legislative/regulatory requirements and the expectations of the medical profession.
