How ProfileMD works
ProfileMD.ca brings approved physician information, practical visit-preparation guides and source-backed health resources into one calm, patient-friendly place.
One clear purpose
ProfileMD helps you understand who a physician is, where approved public information comes from and how to prepare for a more focused healthcare visit.
What ProfileMD is
What ProfileMD is not
Know your physician better
A published profile can bring useful professional and clinic information together without turning the page into a review site or patient portal.
Name, specialty, professional focus and other approved public details.
Work location and approved public contact details, which may include telephone, fax or clinic email.
LinkedIn or Instagram may be linked when the physician has authorized that professional page for publication.
Educational materials, preparation guidance and trusted public resources selected for patients.
Publicly approved information about how to contact or navigate the clinic, without implying availability.
Review dates and correction pathways help keep public information accountable over time.
Not every physician profile contains every field. ProfileMD publishes only information that is eligible and authorized for public display.
From information to a better visit
The patient remains in control at every step. Nothing from a public preparation page is silently sent to a physician.
Find approved physician information or a source-backed health resource.
Review clinic details, professional information and the limits of what is published.
Organize priorities, medications, documents and questions using a private checklist.
Bring your notes or follow the clinic's approved secure-form instructions before the visit.
Secure clinic workflow educationWhen your clinic provides an Ocean form
Ocean eForms are digital questionnaires that healthcare organizations can configure for patients to complete online or on a clinic tablet. A clinic may use them for administrative information, questionnaires, intake or follow-up workflows.
Ocean is a separate third-party platform. Only use an Ocean link supplied or confirmed by your clinic, and follow the clinic's instructions about what to submit.
The link may arrive through an approved clinic website, message or other official channel.
Answer only the questions requested by the clinic and confirm you are using the intended form.
Depending on setup, staff may review it in Ocean and import or synchronize information with the clinic's EMR.
Ocean documents that Cloud Connect uses a shared encryption key to encrypt and decrypt health information and SSL for secure transmission between Ocean and an integrated EMR.
Ocean documents Website Form import support for TELUS PS Suite, TELUS Med Access, OSCAR, OSCAR Pro and QHR Accuro. The exact review and import process is determined by the clinic.
ProfileMD.ca does not collect the answers. The secure form and its data handling are operated through Ocean and the healthcare organization.
Two systems, two distinct roles

ProfileMD provides public professional and general educational information. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, referrals, appointment management, triage or emergency response.
Do not submit personal medical information through public ProfileMD pages. For care-specific questions, appointments, prescriptions or test results, contact the physician's clinic directly using its official communication channels.
For a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
