As members may know, the College’s Jurisprudence Course became a registration requirement for all new applicants on July 1. As of April 1, 2018, all members switching from the Inactive class back to the General class must show evidence that they have completed the Jurisprudence Course. Members will only be required to complete the course one time, unless it is required as part of a requalification program. The College’s website and relevant forms will be updated to reflect this new requirement before April, and we will send out reminder notifications in the early part of 2018.
Amendments have been made to Ontario’s Personal Health Information & Protection Act (PHIPA), and midwives have had new obligations in providing notice to the Information & Privacy Commissioner regarding privacy breaches effective October 1st, 2017. We’ve updated our Guide to Compliance with PHIPA to add in these new changes so that members can understand what will be required. The updated guide can be found by clicking here, and you’ll find the changes incorporated on page 15 of the guide.
