Ensuring Quality Care
O
nce a physician is registered by the College and is in practice,
we have a duty to ensure that he or she maintains a commitment to competency 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.
