“Across the province, Ontario’s physicians and physician assistants are working in an increasingly complex and strained health-care environment. We continue to hear directly from you about the realities of care delivery,” says CPSO CEO/Registrar Dr. Nancy Whitmore. “We will continue to listen to your feedback, apply a thoughtful approach to our work, and make improvements where possible while working within the confines of the Ontario Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.”

June is Pride month! 🌈

It is a time for communities and allies to unite in collective efforts and spotlight the talents, resilience, and contributions of 2SLGBTQI+ communities.

It is also an opportunity to acknowledge the barriers members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community face when it comes to accessing inclusive health care.
