CMLTO Releases 2023 Health Human Resource Report
01 May 2024
The College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO) is pleased to announce the release of its fifteenth annual Health Human Resource Report (HHR Report). The CMLTO produces this report annually as part of its public protection mandate and as required by Ontario legislation.
The HHR Report is developed by compiling and analyzing data collected from CMLTO registrants during the annual registration renewal process. It includes detailed practice information such as employment, specialties, general demographics, and the provision of clinical education.
The CMLTO HHR report is an important resource as it supports health human resource planning initiatives both within the medical laboratory sector, and more broadly, the Ontario Ministry of Health.
The CMLTO 2023 HHR Report is available here in English, and here in French.
