In 2004 the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario outlined a proposal for Restricted Registration for Residents.

In September 2006 the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care identified Restricted Registration as a potential solution to Emergency Room challenges. In November 2006 PGE-COFM approved the submission of a proposal to the CPSO and the Ministry.

At the request of the Minister and after consultations with stakeholders, the University of Toronto developed a pilot project for Restricted Registration with the participation of the CPSO, PAIRO and the other medical schools.

In May 2010, PGE-COFM put forth a recommendation that the Restricted Registration Pilot Project transition to a permanent program.
