CPSO wants you to help us refine the draft Treatment of Self, Family Members, and Others Close to You policy before it’s finalized. The draft policy sets out the circumstances in which physicians can treat themselves, family members, and others close to them. The draft policy retains many elements of the current policy, but has been revised to adopt a principle-based approach to determine who is close to a physician, provide greater flexibility to physicians in small communities, and broaden the scope of emergency treatment.
