Members of the MLT profession know the key role they perform in the health care system – now members of the public will have a greater understanding too.

In early December, the College launched a public awareness campaign designed to explain the role of MLTs, generate confidence in the professionals who produce lab test results, and reinforce the College’s role in self-regulation and public protection.

The campaign has two elements: information cards that select lab facilities across Ontario will display on a pilot basis (pilot locations and card images appear below) and related web pages that outline who carries out lab tests, what these tests mean, and who protects the public's right to quality test results ( www.publicprotection.ca and www.trustyourtest.com).

We hope all CMLTO members will spread the word of this initiative to recognize the importance of medical lab tests being performed by self-regulating professionals who are held to the highest standards. To learn more about the campaign, please contact CMLTO Corporate Communications.
