CPSO changed the phrase of "Practice Limited to...."
Now "GP with Focused Practice in..."
The "GP" must be included to le4t the public know that the doctor is NOT a Specialist. (The result of the YAZDANFAR case when a GP who did liposuction killed a patient.)
The new`law will help Specialists who trained abroad but can not or will not take the Canadian specialty exams.
It will also help GPs who want to rise above the herd by taking extra courses. It will also help provide a degree of specialised services in parts of Ontario where Specialists do not want to live.
