College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia

The College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC) is a Canadian provincial medical regulatory college based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

History

On July 24, 2023, BC Health Minister Adrian Dix issued a ministerial order appointing Allan Seckel to lead the process of amalgamating the province's health colleges.[1]

As part of his mandate, Seckel was to amalgamate eleven colleges into two. Four of those colleges (the College of Chiropractors of British Columbia, College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia, College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia, and the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia) became the combined College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia as of June 28, 2024, known as "amalgamation day."[1:1][2][3]
