We protect the public and promote the safe and ethical delivery of quality medical care by registrants in Manitoba.

Who is The College of Physicians & Surgeons (CPSM)? CPSM is the medical regulatory body that oversees the practice of medicine in Manitoba. We are guided by our responsibility to protect the public. We follow the framework in The Regulated Health Professions Act. Who are CPSM registrants? All physicians, residents, clinical assistants, physician assistants, and medical and physician assistant students in Manitoba, must be registered with CPSM and hold a Certificate of Practice (license). How does CPSM protect the public? We carry out our goal to protect the public through three core functions:
1. REGISTRATION ensures everyone registered to practice medicine in Manitoba is competent to practice and meets all the established registration requirements. 2. QUALITY monitors the professional competency of practice and promotes safe care through ongoing education and quality improvement initiatives. 3. COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATIONS addresses concerns regarding the care provided by, or the professional conduct of registrants.
