The road to regulation
Friday, 22 August 2014 15:18
CMLTO invites OSMT conference goers to attend its presentation, “Medical Laboratory Assistants & Technicians: The Road to Regulation.”
The conference is being held in Kingston, September 19-21, 2014. The CMLTO presentation is slated for September 20th, from 3:15 to 4:15pm, in the Gibraltar Room at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.
The CMLTO Council has identified the regulation of medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians as one of its strategic priorities.
Member Relations and Policy Specialist John Tzountzouris’ presentation will discuss the initiative’s origins, the progress made so far, and the next steps in this multi-year project.
Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn how they can get involved in this initiative. It is the CMLTO’s goal to engage all medical laboratory practitioners and stakeholders in the process. Increased access to a broader range of regulated health professionals in the clinical laboratory is in the public’s best interest.
Medical laboratory assistants and technicians have a significant and increasing impact on quality patient care due to their expanding roles and broadened responsibilities in the clinical laboratory. As they provide phlebotomy services and pre-analytical functions, they are often the primary source of contact between the laboratory, patients, and other health care professionals, in specimen collection centres, point-of-care settings and long-term care facilities.
Bring your questions and comments about the road to regulation. Information about the initiative is posted on CMLTO’s website.
