Practice standard

The College recently addressed a complaint where a female registrant had not followed the Physical Examinations and Procedures practice standard when treating a female patient. The College reminds all registrants that they must adhere to this and all other practice standards. Failing to do so may put the registrant at risk of receiving a complaint.

Registrants are encouraged to review the practice standard, which outlines the steps that must be taken to ensure that physical examinations and procedures are conducted in a professional and respectful manner. Registrants may also refer to the College’s Physical Examinations and Procedures video.
