OPRC Governance

OPRC operates under a collaborative governance model that ensures that the data we provide serves as an unbiased resource for decision-makers across the healthcare sector.

dPreviously known as the Ontario Physician Human Resources Data Centre (OPHRDC), OPRC is governed by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), the Council of Ontario Faculties of Medicine (COFM), and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA). These organizations provide strategic direction, oversight and support to OPRC’s operations and initiatives, while allowing OPRC to maintain its independence, neutrality and objectivity.

OPRC is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and operated at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
