Reform

These changes are in line with the Ministry of Health’s focus on modernizing the health regulation system and reducing the number of colleges overall.

A new College of Oral Health Professionals will oversee all six of BC’s regulated oral health professions, currently served by four colleges.

The recommendations are part of a new report focused on modernizing BC’s health profession regulatory framework, impacting all health profession regulatory colleges.

Work is well underway on two separate amalgamations that will create a new BC College of Nurses and Midwives and transition the province’s podiatric surgeons into the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.
