Registering to Practise Medicine in Ontario

The medical profession in Ontario has been granted a great degree of authority by provincial law, and that authority is exercised through the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. One of the responsibilities of regulation undertaken by the College is to issue certificates of registration to physicians, allowing them to practise medicine in Ontario. All doctors in Ontario must be members of the College.
