What to expect after submitting a media request

Once a request has been received, the communications and public affairs team will gather information, respond to inquiries, coordinate interviews where appropriate, and direct journalists to helpful resources if a request is out of the College’s scope.

Here are some things to note when determining if your request is within the College’s scope:

• Privacy laws prevent the College from being able to disclose whether a patient has filed a complaint against a registrant. The College may only disclose this information if the complaint leads to formal discipline.
• The College has no jurisdiction over health-care spending, including physician human resourcing and the administration of hospitals and health authorities.
• The College can only comment on matters related to the regulation of the practice of medicine. This includes oversight of non-hospital (private) facilities and diagnostic facilities.
• Physicians on staff serve in administrative roles and cannot provide a medical opinion on a clinical health matters.

The College offices are located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh Nations.
