The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is the regulatory agency for medical care in the province of Ontario, Canada. The CPSO was created by the Ontario Regulated Health Professions Act 1991.[1] Actions of the CPSO are subject to review by the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board.

Ontario is the most populous province in Canada, with more than 13,000,000 inhabitants, so the CPSO regulates the health care of more than 1/3 of Canadians.

The CPSO recognises the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991 as its governing legislature. It reportedly does not recognise the Constitution of Canada, including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as applying to the CPSO, nor does it recognise the rights granted to all Canadians by the Charter as being patient rights.
