Regulated Health Profession Roles in Ontario

In Ontario some health professions are regulated by health regulatory colleges. These are not teaching colleges but self-governing bodies established by law to regulate the profession.

For example, the College of Pharmacists regulates all of the pharmacists in Ontario; the College of Midwives regulates midwives; and the College of Chiropractors regulates chiropractors.

These colleges protect the public's right to safe, effective and ethical health care, and they do so under a law called the Regulated Health Professions Act.
