What are the relevant laws, rules or regulations concerning self-prescription in Ontario (presumably as dictated by the Ontario College of Physicians & Surgeons, but thats just a guess as to who is in charge)? Self-prescription refers to doctors prescribing medicine to themselves or their family. |

Hi Salgrey The official guideline under the Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics (Update 2004) is "Responsibilities to the patient [...] 20. Limit treatment of yourself or members of your immediate family to minor or emergency services and only when another physician is not readily available; there should be no fee for such treatment." http://policybase.cma.ca/PolicyPDF/PD04-06.pdf |

Thanks hardtofind...thats very helpful. The only question left in my mind is that the CMA Policy starts off by saying "Physicians should beaware of the legal and regulatory requirements that govern medical practice in their jurisdictions". So I wonder if the CMA policy reflects the OMA/Ontario College of Physicians & Surgeons policy or if the latter could be more specific than the CMA. Nonetheless, very good info, cheers. |

CPSO guidlines are virtually identical http://www.cpso.on.ca/policies/drug_self.htm I doubt there is specific self-prescription legislation. Rather, that other than these guidelines, the standard rules apply http://www.cpso.on.ca/policies/drug_prac.htm |
