CPSBC offers resources to support registrants in practice, including coaching and online courses.
Registrant support coaching
To assist registrants who require support in applying practice standards and professional guidelines to particular situations in their practice, CPSBC offers registrant support coaching.
Two registrant support coaches are available by appointment to guide registrants in navigating a situation in medical practice, applying relevant standards and guidelines, identifying resources, and developing a plan of action.
Both coaches are experienced physicians certified by the International Coaching Federation. They are trained to be attentive listeners and skilled inquirers, using a non-judgmental and empowering approach to unpack and address a challenge. A coaching appointment may help registrants gain a deeper understanding of the practice challenge they are facing and support them in developing their next steps. Every situation is unique and the coaches can work with a registrant to develop a plan of action that is aligned with CPSBC’s expectations set out in standards and guidelines. The content of coaching conversations is kept in strict confidence and is not shared with CPSBC.

Self-directed online courses
CPSBC offers several online courses designed to assist registrants in understanding CPSBC expectations through examples and case studies. Each course takes between five and 25 minutes to complete, and all are self-directed so registrants can start at any time, progress at their own pace, and pause and return if needed.
Courses on the following topics are currently available:
- Consent to treatment
- Virtual care
- Ending the patient-registrant relationship
- Leaving practice
- Medical record keeping
- Safe prescribing
The courses are hosted on an online learning platform. For privacy reasons, the platform is not integrated with CPSIDs or passwords for the CPSBC website. To take a course, registrants must create an account by providing their name, email address, and setting a password.
