UPSHPA is not a replacement for provincial colleges or the National Registry Program (NRP). Instead, we provide a federal alternative that offers medical professionals more freedom, protection, and flexibility to practice.
Here’s how UPSHPA is different: #
| Feature | UPSHPA | Provincial Colleges | NRP |
| Autonomous Licensing | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (Government-controlled) | ✅ Yes |
| Protects Against Unfair License Revocation | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Supports Private Healthcare Clinics | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (Public-only system) | ❌ No |
| Includes Alternative Medicine & Functional Health Practitioners | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Allows Physicians to Set Up Private Practices Without Bureaucracy | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No |
What This Means for You: #
✔ If you are a physician, surgeon, or healthcare professional looking for greater independence, UPSHPA allows you to work without restrictive policies from provincial medical boards.
✔ If you are a doctor whose license was unfairly revoked for political reasons, UPSHPA offers a path back to practicing medicine.
✔ If you are a healthcare entrepreneur, UPSHPA helps you open private clinics, surgery centers, and diagnostic facilities.
