Improving
Ensuring the
lifelong learning
of all physicians
O
nce a physician is registered by the College to practise
medicine, we have a duty to ensure that he or she
maintains competence throughout his or her career.
Supporting physicians in their decision-making
and lifelong learning helps Ontario doctors and, ultimately, their
patients. To better understand where a physician can improve, we
begin with assessments.
The College is committed to ensuring that every physician is assessed once in a 10-year cycle.
