College of Health and Care Professionals of BC
The College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) unites the regulation of nine health professions in BC: registered audiologists, dietitians, hearing instrument practitioners, occupational therapists, opticians, optometrists, physical therapists, psychologists, and speech-language pathologists. This integration ensures these health professionals possess the competencies to deliver safe, ethical, and high-quality care.
This amalgamation is a significant part of the Ministry of Health’s ongoing efforts to modernize BC’s health profession regulatory framework. By bringing these diverse health professions under one umbrella, CHCPBC aims to:
- Centralize information: Serve as a single point of contact for information about the regulated health professionals.
- Enhance public protection: Ensure consistent regulation across various health professions, enhancing public safety and trust.
- Boost efficiency and effectiveness: Provide greater access to resources and expertise, streamlining the regulatory process.
