ABOUT COUNCIL
Council is the governing body of
the College. The Regulated Health
Professions Act stipulates that it
consist of at least 32 and no more
than 34 members including:
• 16 physicians elected by their peers on
a geographical basis every three years;
• physicians appointed from among the
six faculties of medicine (at the Western
University, McMaster University, University of Toronto, Queen’s University,
University of Ottawa, and the Northern
Ontario School of Medicine);
• no fewer than 13 and no more than
15 non-physician or ‘public’ members
appointed by the provincial government
for terms decided by the government.
Both medical faculty members and public
members may be re-appointed at the end
of their terms. Elected members may not
serve more than three terms (nine consecutive years). The College President is
elected from and by Council and serves a
one-year term.
Council members sit on one or more
committees of the College. Each committee has specific functions, most of which
are governed by provincial legislation.
General Council meetings are held four
times a year to review the activities of the
College and debate and vote upon matters of general policy. Council meetings
are open to the public and are held in the
3rd floor Council Chamber at 80 College
Street, Toronto.
For more information about the actions,
processes and structures by which the
mandate of the College is fulfilled, please
