In April 2022, the Provincial Government passed the Pandemic and Emergency Preparedness Act, 2022. Included in this act is a requirement that all health regulatory colleges in Ontario create an Emergency Class of registration. The goal of the Emergency Class is to provide Colleges with the flexibility to maintain their registration process for new applicants in the event of an emergency, which may otherwise cause a barrier to registration.
With the addition of the new Emergency Class, the College Council took the opportunity to consider other ways in which the College can create more opportunities for qualified individuals to enter the profession, while still ensuring public protection. Council has identified the possibility that there are potential applicants to the College who may have a high level of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, and would benefit from such an opportunity. To address this, the College is proposing a Provisional Class to temporarily provide an alternate route into the profession.
These proposed new classes require a regulation amendment to the College’s Registration Regulation (O. Reg 27/13). The following documents highlight the proposed changes in detail:
Emergency Class
In developing the Emergency Class language, the College looked to ensure that the Emergency Class contains the following elements:
