Fact Sheet - Registration Examination
Do I need to sit the examinations of the Ontario Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Examination Committee (OTCMAEC) in May or June, 2012 in order to register with the College?
No. The Ontario Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Examination Committee (OTCMAEC), formerly known as “Ontario Acupuncture Examination Committee (OAEC), is not a committee of the Transitional Council of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). It is not affiliated with the transitional Council in any way. It is not authorized by statute or the government of Ontario to register (licence) traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and/or acupuncturists to practice in Ontario. The transitional Council does not recognize that examination.
Does everyone have to sit a Registration Examination?
The College will start to process applications from current practicing professionals with 5 years or more Ontario practice experience later this year (2012). Current practitioners who qualify under the grandparenting provisions will not have to do the Registration Examination. You are advised to participate in the information sessions that the transitional Council will offer to guide interested practitioners in February/March 2012. Full information will be posted on our website: www.ctcmpao.on.ca.
When will the CTCMPAO Registration Examination be available?
The College will receive applications for Registration Examinations in late 2013 or early 2014. Graduates from education programs in Canada and other countries, who meet the “Entry-level Occupational Competencies for the Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada” may apply.
Who should I contact to apply for registration (licence) to practice in Ontario?
Anyone wishing to legally practice in Ontario must register with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO). The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario is the only regulatory body established under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Act, 2006 to register qualified persons to provide safe and ethical care to the public as a health professional and to govern the practice of traditional Chinese medicine in Ontario. The College is still going through the transition period. It will officially be established in March 2013.

我是否需要參加“安省中醫針灸考試委員會”(Ontario Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Examination Committee (OTCMEC)）2012年5月和6月的“安省中醫考試”，才能在管理局註冊？
這是不必要的。安省中醫針灸考試委員會（OTCMEC），原名Ontario Acupuncture Examination Committee (OAEC），並非安省中醫師及針灸師管理局過渡委員會的一個委員會。它與過渡委員會沒有任何附屬關係，亦未獲安省法律或政府授權來執行安省的中醫師及/或針灸師的註冊（發牌）。
是否每個人都必須參加註冊考試？
今年（2012年）稍後，管理局將開始處理有至少5年安省執業經驗的現有從業人士的申請。符合祖輩註冊條款的現有從業人士將無需參加註冊考試。過渡委員會將在2012年2/3月舉辦資訊說明會提供指引，我們建議有興趣申請註冊的人士抽時間參加。有關資訊說明會的詳情將會刊登在我們的網站：www.ctcmpao.on.ca。
安省中醫師及針灸師管理局(CTCMPAO)的註冊考試將在何時提供？
管理局將在2013年末或2014年初接受參加註冊考試的申請。畢業於加拿大及其他國家的教育課程，又達到『加拿大傳統中醫執業之基礎專業能力』的人士可以申請。
申請在安省執業的註冊（牌照），我應該聯絡那個機構？
任何希望在安省合法執業的人士必須在安省中醫師及針灸師管理局（CTCMPAO）註冊。
安省中醫師及針灸師管理局是根據《法定醫療護理專業法，1991》和《中醫法, 2006》成立的唯一中醫針灸規管機構，其職責是對安省的合格中醫針灸從業者進行註冊，對安省中醫行業實施監管,使註冊中醫師及針灸師能提供安全及符合操守的醫療服務予公眾。管理局目前仍處於過渡時期，將在2013年3月正式成立。
您應該直接聯絡安省中醫師及針灸師管理局過渡委員會註冊總監，地址如下：
