The COTBC is committed to ensuring the competency of occupational therapists in British Columbia. We believe clients, employers, and occupational therapists all benefit from safe, effective, and ethical occupational therapy.

The Quality Assurance Committee and its subcommittee, the Continuing Competence Committee, are currently developing criteria to define the continuing competency requirements for registrants; as well as programs and resources to help registrants meet those requirements.

The Standards Committee, another subcommittee of the Quality Assurance Committee, has published three practice guidelines to assist registrants in their practice: one on the assigning components to unregulated support personnel, another on managing client information, and the latest on obtaining consent to occupational therapy services.
