The College of Occupational Therapists of BC sets standards of practice that occupational therapists are required to meet. The standards are informed by legislation and regulation, as well as documents such as the Code of Ethics, College Bylaws, and the Competencies for Occupational Therapists in Canada.
Practice Standards assist occupational therapists by:
- defining registrant responsibilities;
- describing minimal expectations for occupational therapy practice; and
- defining safe, ethical, and competent occupational therapy practice.
