As part of the CMLTO Council’s regular review of its policies and foundational documents, the CMLTO Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics were scheduled for review at the September 2017 Council meeting.
Leading up to Council review, CMLTO worked with the members of the Canadian Alliance of Medical Laboratory Professional Regulators (CAMLPR) from 2013 to 2016 to draft a national Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for medical laboratory technologists.
At its September 25, 2017 meeting, CMLTO Council approved the updated Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, based on the documents drafted by CAMLPR.
The updated CMLTO Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics will take effect January 1, 2019.

MLTs will need to be aware of the professional obligations contained within the updated CMLTO Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. Furthermore, the CMLTO Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is based on the Standards of Practice, and as such, modifications will need to be made to the various components of the QAP to align with the new document.
