The College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) has designed a comprehensive approach to quality practice that includes continuing professional development, practice support, and quality assurance assessments. The Professional & Quality Practice Program (PQPP) replaces previous Quality Assurance Program requirements, applies to all of the more than 16,000 licensees across nine professions, and is consistent with the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) that will be in force on April 1, 2026.  

Please visit the PQPP page for the most up-to-date information about the new program.
