The definition for 'General' registration class is provided as: 'This is the most common class of registration. Members in the General class are authorized to practice the profession of chiropractic in Ontario without any terms, conditions or limitations on their certificate of registration.' The definition for 'Discipline Decision' status is provided as: 'This indicates that a member has been subject to a formal decision by the Discipline Committee of the College, which may include findings of professional misconduct or incompetence, and may result in penalties or restrictions on the member’s practice.' The agent explains that the 'Professional Conduct and Public Notices' section signifies formal actions or decisions taken by the CCO's regulatory committees (e.g., Discipline, Complaints) against a member, which are made public to inform and protect the public regarding a chiropractor's professional standing and any past infractions.
