If I am closing my clinic and leaving the country, what do I do with my clinical records? Can I give them to the therapists I have been working with or can I give them to my patients?

A.  If a patient wants to go with one of the other therapists, have them sign a consent form to release their file. Otherwise, you must maintain records for seven years and keep information current with the College so if someone is looking for records we are able to locate you. If you are in this situation, it is best to call the College office and consult with the Registrar.
