About this statute

This part sets up medical registration in the Northwest Territories, including a committee, a registrar, registers, and routes to registration and licensing for general/family practitioners and specialists. This segment sets out medical registration, renewal, removal, appeals, temporary permits, virtual care permissions, and conduct review rules. This part sets out how complaints about a practitioner are handled, including notice to the respondent, investigation, dismissal, interim protection measures, appeal, mediation, and hearing procedures. This provision covers disciplinary orders, appeals, reinstatement after suspension or cancellation, practice restrictions, offences, penalties, service rules, and regulation-making powers for medical registration. Some complaints and hearings started under the former Act continue under the new Act, and the former Act keeps applying in a pending Board of Inquiry hearing. The Medical Profession Act is repealed, and this Act starts on a date fixed by the Commissioner.
