Help Shape CASLPO’s Definition of Patient Care and Related Work

We invite you to take part in a short survey that will help inform updates to CASLPO’s Definition of Patient Care and Related Work Policy. 

This policy plays a key role in determining whether registrants meet the minimum currency requirement of 750 hours of patient care or related work over a three-year period. As professional practice continues to evolve, we are reviewing how “patient care” and “related work” are defined to ensure they remain relevant and reflective of current practice. 

Changes in service delivery models, practice settings, and professional roles mean that registrants are engaging in a broader and more diverse range of activities than ever before. We want to better understand these activities and to identify what should be included in the updated definitions. 

Your feedback will inform discussions at the Registration Committee. The Board of Directors will review and approve any proposed changes.

Before completing the survey, we encourage you to review the current policy (see REG-07). Your input will help ensure the definitions are clear, practical, and aligned with today’s professional landscape. 

If you have questions, please contact [email protected]. Thank you for taking the time to share your input.
