A Chat with the College: Fostering Connections, New National Standards & Making Progress with EDI

Speakers: Nitin Madhvani, CPO President Craig Roxborough, Registrar and CEO Mary-Catherine Fraser Saxena, PT and Practice Advisor “The interests of the public and the interests of the profession are almost always aligned. We are all working toward a common goal – to provide safe and effective care to Ontarians.”- Nitin Madhvani, President of the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (CPO) shared those words during March 5th's Chat with the College. He was joined by Craig Roxborough, CEO & Registrar, Mary Catherine Fraser-Saxena, Practice Advisor, OPA staff, and many physiotherapists. The CPO shared their approach to "right-touch" regulation, their strategic plan, and engagement with equity and inclusion. We heard about the role of the Practice Advisors, the purpose of Practice Standards and the work CPO is doing to incorporate the national standards into practice in Ontario. The collaborative chat was a great exchange! OPA will share a recording of the webinar in April, and you can continue this chat in person at OPA's InterACTION conference on March 22 & 23.
