From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is the governing body for medical doctors in Ontario.
The college issues certificates of registration for all doctors to allow them to practise medicine as well as:
- Monitors and maintains standards of practice via assessment and remediation
