Essential Competencies

The standards and guidelines are based on the Essential Competencies of Practice for Kinesiologists in Ontario. The Essential Competencies defines the knowledge, skill, judgement and attitudes required to practise in the public interest.

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics defines the way kinesiologists, in all situations, should uphold the integrity of the profession, serve the interests of patients/clients, and act in a manner that justifies public trust.

Practice Standards and Guidelines

Practice standards outline the expectations for kinesiologists that contribute to public protection. They inform kinesiologists of their accountabilities and the public of what to expect of kinesiologists.

Practice guidelines help kinesiologists understand their responsibilities and how to make safe and ethical decisions in their practice.

Practice Advice and other documents

The College provides a variety of educational and consultative services – including webinars, articles, FAQs and practice support – to help kinesiologists understand the standards and how to apply them to their practice.
