College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario
The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO) will be the governing body for traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture in Ontario.
The CTCMPAO was established through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Act in 2006 and is represented by its transitional council. In January 2008, staff of the Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) provided the Registrar of the transitional council with an overview of the OFC's work and the requirements for compliance with the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, as amended, that the CTCMPAO will eventually have to meet. The OFC is working closely with the transitional council.
The College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
The OFC will oversee the registration practices of the CTCMPAO to ensure that they are transparent, objective, impartial and fair for anyone who wants to practise as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner or acupuncturist in this province.
The OFC does not assess credentials, handle complaints or intervene in particular cases. Our mandate is one of systemic change.
Please contact the CTCMPAO for further information about your ability to practise as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner or acupuncturist in Ontario.
