Traditional Chinese Medicine Act, 2006

It is slowly coming to fruition - Transitional Council of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario (CTCMPAO) has been established. Therefore, in a few years the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) will become regulated. This is important as it is a means of protecting the Ontario public by assessing and determining the qualifications of those who practice TCM in Ontario. The CTCMPAO will regulate it's members as the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, Optometrists, Massage Therapists and Physiotherapists do. I will keep you up to date on the progress of the TC-CTCMPAO.
