Our Mandate
Build and maintain an effective system of self-governance. The profession, through and with
the College, has a duty to serve and protect the public interest by regulating the practice of the
profession and governing in accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act.
Our vision is the framework by
which we organize ourselves.
It guides our thinking and actions into the
future. It defines not only who we are, but what
we stand for, the role we see for ourselves, our
critical relationships, in what system we work,
and the outcomes we seek.
Each component of our vision is defined below:
Quality Professionals
As a profession and as professionals, we
recognize and acknowledge our role and
responsibility in attaining at a personal,
professional, and at a system-level, the best
possible patient outcomes.
We are committed to developing and
maintaining professional competencies,
taking a leadership position on critical issues
that impact the performance of the system,
and actively partnering to provide tools,
resources and measurement to ensure optimal
performance at all levels of the system.
Healthy System
The trust and confidence of the public and our
effectiveness as professionals is influenced by
the system within which we operate.
Therefore, we, as caring professionals, are
actively involved in the design and function of
an effective system including:
Accessibility
The interdependence of all involved
Measurements and outcomes
Continued sustainability
Public Trust
As individual doctors garner the trust of their
patients, as a profession we must aim to have
the trust of the public by:
Building positive relationships with
individuals
Acting in the interests of patients and
communities
Advocating for our patients and a quality
system
