Draft Scope of Practice for Registered Medical Laboratory Technicians Released
Friday, 01 April 2011 20:01
The College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO) continues to pursue the regulation of medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians.
In 2010:
- The Regulation of Medical Laboratory Assistants and Medical Laboratory Technicians website was launched.
- The CMLTO Position Paper on the Regulation of Medical Laboratory Assistants and Medical Laboratory Technicians was released.
- An Advisory Working Group (AWG) was established to ensure transparency and appropriate input into the initiative.
A draft Scope of Practice Statement for Registered Medical Laboratory Technicians has now been released. The draft scope of practice statement for medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians is a fundamental part of this initiative as it facilitates the clear identification of which practitioners the CMLTO is addressing.
In 2011, the CMLTO and the Advisory Working Group will focus on establishing criteria for voluntary rostering for medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians.
We encourage individuals to share this information with their medical laboratory assistant and medical laboratory technician colleagues so they too can become, or remain, engaged.
