Occupational therapists can get involved with governance and health regulation at the College by becoming a Professional Committee Appointee.
Professional Committee Appointees are registered occupational therapists who serve on our committees and are not members of the Board.
This is a great opportunity if you are an engaged professional who wants to:
- Get involved and learn more about the work of the College
- Make valuable contributions to the profession
- Help regulate occupational therapy in Ontario
We encourage occupational therapists from diverse groups and those working in rural or remote practices to get involved with the College, regulation of the profession, and public protection.
The College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO) is seeking two professional committee appointees to serve on the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC).
The ICRC plays a critical role in protecting the public by reviewing concerns about an occupational therapist’s practice that are brought to the College’s attention. Committee members contribute their professional knowledge, judgment and experience to support fair, consistent and transparent decision-making.
The College is seeking applications from individuals with a broad range of skills, perspectives and expertise as outlined in the College’s Committee Competency Framework.
