While the College is no longer permitted to provide member-centric services like the annual conference, we are committed to providing new regulatory education opportunities for our members to enhance their understanding of how health regulation ties into their everyday practice. On October 16 and 23, we hosted our first Regulatory Education Symposium, which was an entirely virtual free event that offered members the opportunity to earn up to 8 hours toward their CCP.

The event’s presentations included a range of topics:

• Unprofessional conduct and the use of social media
• DI facility accreditation
• Equity, diversity and inclusion in patient care
• Searching for and applying evidence during COVID-19
• Supportive responses to sexual violence: information for health professionals
• College information and update

All presentations were mapped to the College’s Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics or other regulatory documents to ensure our compliance with legislation while making a meaningful contribution to the continuing education of our members. We had 339 people attend the first day of the event and 337 attend the second day of the event, and the feedback we received through the post-event survey indicates that the event was generally well received. We hope to host another symposium this spring, and the feedback we received through the survey will help guide our plans.
