Information required includes your previous rotations, email addresses of your program director and potential hospital supervisor, as well as details of the proposed contracted hospital work.

Application is as follows:

  1. The resident applies online after identifying a site and supervisor, and obtaining permission to apply from the potential supervisor.
  2. An automatic email is sent to the resident's Supervising Physician (Credentialing, PIC, Supervising Housestaff) once the online application is complete. It is important to provide the correct email address for your supervising physician. In the case where more than one physician will be supervising, a main contact is necessary.
  3. Upon confirmation by the Supervising Physician, the application is automatically forwarded to the Program Director.
  4. Upon approval by the Program Director, the application is automatically forwarded to the PG Dean.
  5. Upon approval by the PG Dean, the application is automatically forwarded to the home university's Restricted Registration Internal Review Committee (RRRC).
  6. The application is considered by the RRRC on a specified meeting date, and then approved online.
  7. Upon approval, the application is forwarded to the RR Project Manager and subsequently submitted to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) for the next available Registration Committee meeting. The CPSO will send the Resident additional forms that require completion prior to the Registration Committee meeting. The application cannot proceed unless the additional paperwork from the CPSO is completed.
  8. The CPSO informs the Resident, the Supervising Physician, the Program Director, PG Dean and Project Manager of the committee decision, and issues a Restricted Certificate for the period of work outside postgraduate training.
  9. Pending any other paperwork that needs to be returned to the CPSO, the Resident obtains his/her Certificate of Restricted Registration, and may begin work.

 

There are no appeals to this process. The Program Directors, PG Deans, Internal Review Committees and Registration Committee at CPSO all have the right to refuse or withdraw a resident's participation in this program at any time.

The onus is on the Resident to contact the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) to request that their coverage be changed to TOW Code 14. There is no additional fee, and you may do this at any time. However, you MUST have proof of this change in status by the time you begin your Restricted Registration activity
