| Abstract (English): |
The objective of this jurisdictional review is to provide summary information pertaining to the regulation of chiropractors in Canadian provinces and territories on the topic of informed consent. Our review shows that two provinces have legislated for all healthcare professions: Ontario and Prince Edward Island. Two chiropractic regulatory bodies (New Brunswick and, Newfoundland and Labrador) have adopted the Canadian Chiropractic Association Code of Conduct. All chiropractic regulatory bodies of the other provinces and Yukon have adopted their own specific dispositions regarding informed consent. Chiropractors in Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Québec must obtain informed consent in writing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

L'objectif de cette étude juridictionnelle est de fournir des informations sommaires portant sur la réglementation des chiropraticiens dans les provinces et territoires canadiens en ce qui concerne le consentement éclairé. Notre étude montre que deux provinces (l'Ontario et l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard) ont légiféré sur toutes les professions de la santé. Deux organismes de réglementation chiropratique (le Nouveau-Brunswick et, Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador) ont adopté le Code de conduite de l'Association chiropratique canadienne. Tous les organismes de réglementation de chiropratique des autres provinces et le Yukon ont adopté leurs propres dispositions spécifiques concernant le consentement éclairé. Les chiropraticiens de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, de la Saskatchewan et du Québec doivent obtenir le consentement éclairé par écrit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
