We have moved

Effective September 4, 2007 the college moved to:

All phone numbers and e-mail addresses will remain the same.

What is the College and what are its responsibilities?

The College of Physicians and Surgeons is a statutory, self-regulating body established by legislation of the Government of Saskatchewan and charged with the responsibility of:

• Licencing properly qualified medical practitioners;
• Developing and ensuring the standards of practice in all fields of medicine;
• Investigating and disciplining of all doctors whose standards of medical care, ethical or professional conduct are questioned.

Public Access to Council Meetings

Across Canada steps have been taken to make the work of statutory professional regulatory bodies more transparent to the professionals they regulate and to the general public. Opening meetings of the governing bodies of such agencies to the profession and the public is one mechanism which enhances organizational transparency. In general, organizations have reported positive response to this policy decision.

Since December, 1996, a portion of the College Council meetings have been open to the public.

• Council meetings are open to the public for all governance related matters. Where matters deal with policy related to litigation and personnel issues, Council will be in camera. There may be occasions during the open session that the President makes the determination to discuss a particular issue in camera. The President will announce his/her intention.

• Agendas will be available the Monday prior to each Council Meeting. For specific meetings, seating is limited. Therefore, public tickets will be issued on a first-come first-served basis and will be available one week in advance of scheduled meetings.

• No right is extended to public observers to actively participate in meetings and no recording devices or cameras are permitted without the permission of the President.

A list of all the upcoming Council Meetings is also available at our site
