Navigating a System under Stress

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is committed to keeping Ontario’s physicians and patients informed as everyone navigates a health system under stress. It is an unprecedented time as our health system is put under extreme pressure. This is the time we all need to support one another.

The CPSO understands the impact these issues have on everyone. We are closely monitoring the evolving situation and will continuously update this section as information becomes available. We've collected resources for physicians and patients, including answers to frequently asked questions and additional information around the effective choices you can make to keep you and others safe. We encourage you to check back often for updates.

In light of the approval of Ontario’s As of Right legislation in July 2023, we’ve answered some frequently asked questions about the amendments, which enable inter-jurisdictional mobility for Canadian physicians and other select registered health professionals.
