CPSO’s Board of Directors has approved amendments that strengthen expectations for physicians who prescribe safer supply medications.
These amendments represent meaningful action within CPSO’s regulatory mandate to increase safeguards for patients and the public. They strengthen prescribing oversight, support supervised consumption, and help minimize harm by limiting the potential for diversion.

Essentials in Medical Professionalism is a great resource that sets out expectations about professional ethics, so CPSO registrants can deliver quality care for the people of Ontario.
It defines the values and duties at the core of medical practice, so that physicians, physician assistants, and the public know what to expect from the medical profession.

⏳ Reminder: CPSO is seeking feedback on the draft Maintaining Appropriate Boundaries policy. This updated policy includes principles on implementing trauma-informed care in practice, using humour appropriately, navigating social network connections with patients, and responding to patient-initiated boundary crossings. Does it provide helpful guidance?
👉 Let us know by November 24.
