A community for Canadian physicians and medical professionals

Rules

  1. No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.

  2. No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.

  3. Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.

  4. Act professionally and decently: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues.

  5. Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.

  6. No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.

These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)

The College Bylaws have been updated, effective October 5, 2023:

  • Sections 2-11 and 2-12 (updated) enable registrants who are currently in the provisional class of registration to transfer to the full class after successfully completing an assessment of competency, at the registrant’s cost, and satisfactory to the Registration Committee, as an alternative to obtaining the certification examinations of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC).
  • Section 2-15(1)(b)(iii) (new) provides a route for registration in the provisional – family class for physicians who have obtained certification with the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians.
  • Sections 2-47 and 2-48 (new) provides a new class of licensure, the restricted class, for current registrants in the provisional class who have not obtained the certification examination of the CFPC or the RCPSC but have completed five years of practice in BC. Registrants in this class require sponsorship from a health authority.
  • Schedule A (updated) outlines fees for the restricted class.
