Professional Biologists in B.C. are governed by the College of Applied Biology.
The College of Applied Biology Act is the first legislation of its kind in North America, and is the first time applied biologists have been granted full professional status through self governing legislation. The College:
- sets conduct and performance standards to which members are held accountable,
- ensures the competence of its members through compulsory rules for Continuing Professional Development (CPD), audits, investigations, discipline procedures and
- evaluates and comments on legislation pertinent to the purpose of the College from an apolitical perspective.
