The College is not a licensing or disciplinary body but an association of doctors that is concerned with medical education and setting standards.
The College maintains close working relations with the 16 Canadian university medical schools, numerous national professional associations, voluntary health organizations and governmental agencies where it has a respected and influential voice in discussions affecting medical education, medical research and the delivery of high-quality health care to Canadians.
Many more contribute as teachers in specialty residency programs accredited by the College, as contributors to the scientific and social portions of the annual meeting and other continuing education programs, or by involvement in peer review processes.

The main functions of the College, as set down in the founding Charter, were to grant licenses to those qualified to practice and to punish unqualified practitioners and those engaging in malpractice.

Throughout its history the College has issued advice across the whole range of medical and health matters.

Whilst the methods of assessment have been piloted using Medical SpRs, there is little doubt that they are also applicable across all medical specialties and grades of trainee and, probably, SAS doctors in the context of providing evidence of competency as part of an application for direct entry in the specialist register.

Details of physicians practising since 1845 can be found in Medical Directories and Medical Registers: see paragraph 4 of the first part of this leaflet.
However in the period before 1815 many practitioners (particularly those outside London) belonged to no professional body, and their activities may well be unrecorded.
The term 'physician' traditionally described a person who diagnosed internal disorders, as opposed to one who performed surgery or dispensed medicines.

The current emphasis on specialist training of doctors rather than generic skills is not the correct approach to intensive medical management, says the report.
It also advises that junior medical, nursing, and allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, should be trained in the use of such systems.
The royal college has also issued a report showing that acutely ill patients often find themselves in a gap between acute medicine and accident and emergency, something partly attributed to the division between the two.
