After taking a break over the winter holidays, the Health and Wellness Peer Support Service (PSS) is once again open and available to all U of T St. George students at three in-person sites across campus, and online.

PSS offers 1:1, drop-in, confidential, and non-judgmental spaces for students at the University of Toronto St. George Campus. Trained upper-year undergraduate and graduate student peer supporters offer non-clinical, emotional and psychosocial support to their fellow students, help them navigate clinical and non-clinical resources on- and off-campus, and help expand their mental health community of support. No appointments necessary!

The service is available both online (on Zoom), and in-person at Robarts Library, the Engineering and Computer Science Library, and Student Commons.

When: PSS is available every week across its three locations:
• Tuesdays to Fridays at Robarts Library (130 St. George St.), Room 1152, from 11 AM to 4 PM.
• Wednesdays only at the Engineering and Computer Science Library (10 King’s College Rd.), Room 2402C from 11 AM to 4 PM.
• Thursdays only in the Student Commons (230 College St.), Room 246 from 11 AM to 4 PM.

Registration with CPSO Now Open for Ontario Physician Assistants!

As you’ve likely heard by now, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) will become the regulator for all physician assistants (PAs) in Ontario as of April 1, 2025. The registration period for PAs to become registrants with CPSO is now open.

Reminder: Ontario PAs must be registered with CPSO by April 1 to continue practising with the title of “physician assistant” in the province.

To begin the registration process, PAs should visit the New Applicant Account Creation page on CPSO’s website. We strongly advise you begin the process as early as possible to ensure you have sufficient time to gather and submit all required documentation.

To learn more about what being regulated under CPSO will entail, visit the Physician Assistants section of CPSO’s website, which includes helpful FAQs around registration, delegation, and more.
We also encourage you to subscribe to CPSO’s Dialogue publication, where you’ll receive regular updates from CPSO. You can do so by visiting the Subscribe to Dialogue page. Ontario PAs will automatically receive new issues of Dialogue once they become CPSO registrants.

For any questions, you can email CPSO’s registration team at inquiries@cpso.on.ca.

For transcripts, please go to https://www.registrar.utoronto.ca/transcripts/ordering-my-transcript/
You will need to contact the PA Program office once you have your transcript.
