I would like to take this opportunity to extend thanks to Deanna Williams and Dr. Zubin Austin, whose presentations set the stage perfectly for our afternoon discussion of the Professional Standards.<\/p>\n<p>If you were not able to watch the morning presentations, <a href=\"https:\/\/cmo.on.ca\/member-education-day-2017\/\">we have uploaded them to our website here<\/a>. I encourage all midwives to take the time to watch Deanna Williams speak about the role of regulatory colleges and Dr. Zubin Austin&#8217;s presentation on professionalism and competency. Their insights were invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, we had a lively discussion about the College&#8217;s proposed Professional Standards, as part of our second consultation process. I would like to thank the Professional Standards Working Group for all of their hard work on these new standards, and for leading the discussion at our Member Education Day. <a href=\"https:\/\/cmo.on.ca\/member-education-day-2017\/\">You can watch a video of our discussion here. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our first consultation period on the Professional Standards was held from July 2017- September 2017, and we incorporated the feedback we received into our new draft of the Professional Standards document. Our second consultation launched in October, and is open until December 21st.<\/p>\n<p>Our public interest mandate is at the heart of everything we do, and our principles-based approach to the standards is designed to benefit midwifery clients, the greater public, and the profession as a whole. For more information on our new approach to regulation and what it means in the context of the standards of practice, please <a href=\"https:\/\/cmo.on.ca\/about-the-college\/consultations\/public-consultation-professional-standards-second-consultation\/\">read our Consultation Paper.<\/a> Please <a href=\"https:\/\/cmo.on.ca\/about-the-college\/consultations\/public-consultation-professional-standards-second-consultation\/\">share your comments about the standards and let us know what you think<\/a>.
