Privacy Law, Risk Management, and Professional Liability for Psychologists

Presented by: Ruba El-Sayegh

Join Ruba El-Sayegh, partner at Gowling WLG for a discussion on Canada’s privacy law landscape and how privacy obligations directly impact professional liability risk. Attendees will learn which federal and provincial privacy laws govern their practice and how to implement best practices to protect personal health information.

The presentation will examine common privacy-related risks faced by psychologists, including how privacy breaches and complaints can lead to regulatory investigations or professional liability claims. The session will also review the new Information and Privacy Commissioner’s guidelines relating to the use of AI in your practice.

Attendees will leave with practical guidance on privacy law compliance, best practices, and enforcement procedures.
