Health Professions Act modernization engagement for health professionals
The Government of Yukon is conducting an engagement to support the Health Professions Act modernization project.
What's happening
We are seeking feedback from health professionals to help inform the policy work needed for the first phase of the project focused on legislation.
We want to hear from health professionals in the Yukon about how we can create consistent, efficient and flexible legislation that will make it possible for the Yukon to stay current with regulatory standards across Canada.
This part of the Health Professions Act engagement is for current health professionals. Members of the public who'd like to give their feedback can find the public survey at EngageYukon.
