Who does what? Doctors of BC and the College

We are hearing from members who want to better understand the differing roles and responsibilities of Doctors of BC and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC. Each has a different but important role in the lives of physicians, patients and the health care system.

See if you can answer the following questions:

• Which organization represents the medical profession?
• Which one runs quality assurance programs?
• Which one has voluntary membership?
• Who deals with complaints against physicians?
• Who should you call for support if you have an issue with your health authority?

The “Who does what?” document contains the answers to those questions and many more. It also provides a useful list of when to call Doctors of BC or the College.

We are always interested to hear your comments and answer your questions. E-mail us at View Email Addresscommunications@doctorsofbc.ca
