The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia is a regulatory college which regulates the practice of medicine in British Columbia. The primary function of the College is to ensure that physicians are qualified, competent and fit to practise medicine. The College administers processes for responding to complaints from patients and for taking action if a physician is practising in a manner that is incompetent, unethical or illegal.

All physicians who practise medicine in British Columbia must be registered with the College.[1]

The College also administers quality assurance and accreditation programs to ensure that every physician in the province is practising according to professional standards and that all of BC's diagnostic and private medical and surgical facilities are accredited.[2]
