OBA Health Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET)

The Health Professions Discipline Tribunals (HPDT) bring together the discipline tribunals of six Ontario health colleges. Key innovations at the HPDT include modernizing the Rules of Procedure, expanding case management and incorporating innovative adjudicative techniques to streamline hearings. Join our expert panel, including the Tribunal Chair and lawyers representing regulators and health professionals, as they discuss these changes, their implementation and the impact. 

Utilizing specific examples reported in published decisions, we’ll unpack:
