Provisional Registration: Pathway to Long-Term Registration
This policy outlines the long-term registration options for physicians who are granted provisional registration.
Introduction
All applicants for Provisional Registration must meet the eligibility requirements set out in section 9(1) or section 20(1) of the Medical Practitioners Regulations.
Physicians holding Provisional Registration may move to General Registration if they meet the legislative requirements for General Registration. Physicians who are unable to meet the legislative requirements for General Registration may, if eligible, continue to hold long-term provisional registration with appropriate terms and conditions.
Policy
If a physician holding Provisional Registration is unsuccessful in obtaining Canadian certification or is unsuccessful completing or unable to participate in a Clinical Comprehensive Assessment, Council may direct the Registrar to continue Long-Term Provisional Registration if the physician is otherwise eligible, with appropriate terms and conditions.
Eligibility for Long-Term Provisional Registration is dependent upon the following:
- An in-depth review of the physician’s registration history, including any previous assessments, audits and complaint history,
- A letter of support is required from the Provincial Medical Director and Department Head,
- Proof of Continuing Professional Development must be provided for the past 3 years, and
- A minimum of 3 years of practise in our province.
Appropriate terms and conditions may include, restricting the location of practise, restricting a scope of practise, restricting employment, continued supervision, practise audits, assessments, any other Council deems necessary.
