The following document is the Fair Registration Practices Report (2008) for the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. The report was prepared for the Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC). The OFC requires all the regulated professions to submit reports about their registration practices and their compliance with the Fair Access to Regulated Professions Act, 2006 (FARPA) or the Health Professions Procedural Code (the Code) set out in Schedule 2 of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.

This link will present a 26 page PDF version of the College’s
Fair Registration Practices Report (2008).

HPRAC recently released its report entitled Critical Links: Transforming and Supporting Patient Care: Report to the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care on Mechanisms to Facilitate and Support Interprofessional Collaboration and a New Framework for the Prescribing and Use of Drugs by Non-Physician Regulated Health Professions.

Our College was involved in the review. Please take a look at the report - you will find it very interesting. Chapter 7 specifically deals with chiropodists and podiatrists.
