Restricted Registration

The McMaster Emergency Medicine program is a participant in the provincial Restricted Registration (RR) program. The following is a summary of the yearly requirements that should be met by residents seeking RR licensing.

Please note that though you are eligible, you must independently apply for a special RR license through the CPSO registration committee. Please see the RR website for more information (http://restrictedregistrationontario.ca/)

Fees & deadlines: It is important to note that there are required fees and strict deadlines. Fees for an RR license must be paid on a yearly basis for each job site regardless of how much of the year is spent working.
