How do we balance freedom of expression, professional responsibilities, and the role of the regulator? Scott McLeod shares the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta's perspective. With media coverage and recently proposed legislation focused on freedom of expression of regulated professionals, the CPSA sought to clarify the college's intent and the need to strike the right balance of allowing physicians the freedom to express their opinions while upholding their responsibilities as a professional to protect the public. Scott talks about the challenge to the practitioner of differentiating professional and personal identities, the college's responsibility to determine when professionals' public statements may affect patient care and safety, the complications brought about by social media, and the importance of remaining open to diverse opinions and respectful open discourse.
