Step 7: Confirmation of Professional Liability Membership Coverage
For Physician applicants
Apply for professional liability membership through the CMPA - Canadian Medical Protective Association
Membership must be for Ontario
The CMPA risk code must be in alignment with the Professional Staff work that will be done at the hospital. Code 12 is aligned to Resident/Clinical Fellows; therefore, it will need to be updated to realign with Professional Staff work
Proof of membership confirmation must be forwarded to Medical Affairs via email at medical.affairs@lhsc.on.ca.
For Dental applicants
The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) will issue a Memorandum of Insurance Coverage to confirm liability coverage
The applicant is responsible for requesting the Memorandum of Liability Insurance Coverage and forwarding it to Medical Affairs via email at medical.affairs@lhsc.on.ca.
For Midwifery applicants
The College of Midwives of Ontario (CMO) will issue a Letter of Malpractice Insurance Coverage to confirm liability coverage
The applicant is responsible for requesting the Letter of Malpractice Insurance Coverage and forwarding it to Medical Affairs via email at medical.affairs@lhsc.on.ca.
Continue on to Step 8: Membership with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or College of Family Physicians of Canada.
Go back to Step 6: Current Confirmation of Professional Conduct/Letter of Good Standing.
