The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Royal College), French: Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada, is a national, nonprofit organization established in 1929 by a special Act of Parliament to oversee the medical education of specialists in Canada. The Royal College is an association of physicians concerned with setting national standards for medical education and continuing professional development in Canada for 80 medical specialties.〔http://www.ipolitics.ca/2014/02/07/health-week-status-quo-budgets-living-wills-and-outmoded-clinical-practice/〕〔http://www.paediatricchairs.ca/partner_rcpsc.html〕〔http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/specialist-physicians-eligible-to-apply-process-map〕〔http://www.royalcollege.ca/rc/faces/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/ibd.jspx;jsessionid=rtBBTyFGYd72mwgJvcwZvyS9xl5jTph2xBRhXT27QpqTvGk2Ly7K!1305833773?lang=en&_afrLoop=10762031865888674&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null#%40%3F_afrWindowId%3Dnull%26_afrLoop%3D10762031865888674%26lang%3Den%26_afrWindowMode%3D0%26_adf.ctrl-state%3D17hvk97tbs_4〕 As such, the Royal College is neither a licensing nor a disciplinary body.〔http://books.google.ca/books?id=WHw_a-5yllYC&pg=PA31&lpg=PA31&dq=royal+college+physicians+surgeons+canada&source=bl&ots=TeeGIsrkZQ&sig=2lA6Ze1e5DLb369c4paPdjR0oK4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=a0P1UtjAIOHu2wXBpoCYDQ&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBThQ#v=onepage&q=royal%20college%20physicians%20surgeons%20canada&f=false〕 Instead, it is a regulatory authority that helps ensure that the training and evaluation of medical and surgical specialists and three special programs maintain certain standards of quality.〔http://www.albertaphysicianlink.ab.ca/orientation_guide/royal-college-of-physicians-and-surgeons-of-canada.html〕 All specialists in Canada except family physicians must be certified by the Royal College before they obtain a provincial or territorial licence to practice.〔http://www.cpsnb.org/english/license.html〕〔http://www.yukonmedicalcouncil.ca/physician_licensing.html〕〔http://www.psychiatryinbc.com/files/registration-licensing.php〕〔http://www.plasticsurgery.ca/whatisaplasticsurgeon.php〕〔http://www.healthemployment.ca/pra_lice.html〕〔http://www.healthmatchbc.org/physicians/specialists/licensing-requirements.aspx〕〔http://www.arthritis.ca/document.doc?id=570〕〔http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/working-in-manitoba/profession/physician/〕〔http://www.quadrant.net/cpss/registration/register.html〕〔http://www.uwo.ca/pathol/postgraduate/images/res/Royal%20College%20of%20Physicians%20and%20Surgeons%20of%20Canada.pdf〕 The only exception is in the Province of Quebec, where the Royal College shares the responsibility for certifying physicians with the Collège des médecins du Québec.〔http://physicians.fraserhealth.ca/cme_and_medical_education/cme_accreditation/〕 To become certified, a physician must pass Royal College examinations. Access to these examinations is usually gained by completing a Royal College-accredited residency program at a Canadian university. Access is also available for medical residents who complete a Royal College-recognized residency program in the United States.〔http://www.cpso.on.ca/registering-to-practise-medicine-in-ontario/international-medical-graduates/access-to-canadian-postgraduate-qualifications〕 Certain international training programs approved by the Royal College provide limited access to Royal College examinations.〔http://www.cpso.on.ca/registering-to-practise-medicine-in-ontario/international-medical-graduates/access-to-canadian-postgraduate-qualifications〕 Since its founding, the Royal College has been granted the patronage of the Canadian monarch, currently Elizabeth II. ==History== In June 1929, a special Act of Parliament established the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada to oversee postgraduate medical education in Canada.〔http://www.cpsnl.ca/default.asp?com=Pages&id=119&m=323〕〔http://www.med.uottawa.ca/students/md/professionalism/eng/national.html〕 At first, the Royal College offered just two specialty qualifications: Fellowship in general medicine and Fellowship in general surgery. By 2014, the Royal College had expanded its activities to recognize 80 disciplines, granting Fellowships in 30 specialties, 35 subspecialties, three special programs and 13 Areas of Focused Competence (AFC-diplomas). From the 1940s to the 1970s, the Royal College conducted examinations at two levels in most specialties: Fellowship, the higher qualification, or Certification, a lesser designation. In 1972, the Royal College abolished this dual standard and began to offer a single certification that continues today: Fellowship. In 1968, the Royal College established the McLaughlin Examination and Research Centre at the University of Alberta and Laval University to research and develop modern techniques for evaluating specialist physicians. In 1987, the Royal College merged the centre into a bilingual McLaughlin Centre based in Ottawa, Ontario. Since the mid-1980s, the Royal College has broadened its activities to study areas of special interest in Canadian healthcare, including injury prevention〔http://www.cma.ca/multimedia/CMA/Content_Images/Inside_cma/Media_Release/bios/Louis-Francescutti_en.pdf〕〔http://www.parachutecanada.org/networks/topic/C314〕〔http://www.surgicalspotlight.ca/Article.aspx?ver=Fall_2012&f=Awards〕 and patient safety.〔http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1279867/royal-college-supports-new-federal-patient-safety-legislation〕 In 2005, the Royal College set a specific goal to improve the health of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.〔http://ipac-amic.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/21118_RCPSC_CoreCurriculum_Binder.pdf〕〔http://www.nosm.ca/education/pgme/general.aspx?id=6024〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Nations, Inuit and Métis Health Core Competencies for Continuing Medical Education )〕 Today, the headquarters for the Royal College is located at 774 Echo Drive in Ottawa, Ontario.〔http://ottawa.cioc.ca/record/OCR2260?UseCICVw=13&〕 The building, constructed in 1921, was formerly the monastery of the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood.〔http://www.oldottawasouth.ca/index.php/oshp-heritage-properties/monastery-of-the-precious-blood〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
