Join a committee
CPSBC is currently accepting expressions of interest from individuals interested in joining a committee under the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA). Committee appointments will be effective April 1, 2026, pending board approval.
Committee members are integral to ensuring CPSBC delivers on its mandate to protect the public through effective regulation of the medical profession. They help maintain public confidence in CPSBC proceedings and ensure standards are being met.
British Columbians are invited to contribute their knowledge, skills and expertise by sitting as members of CPSBC committees. All committees are comprised of registrant and public members.
Under the HPOA, board members may not sit on statutory or regulatory committees.
