Consultation: Voluntary Roster criteria
02 October 2020
Since 2009, based on member and stakeholder feedback, CMLTO Council made regulating medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians one of its priorities. In 2012, CMLTO Council approved the establishment of a voluntary roster for medical laboratory assistants and technicians as a public interest activity under paragraph 3 (1),11 of the Procedural Code of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991.
Until such time that medical laboratory assistants and technicians are regulated health professionals in Ontario, the CMLTO Voluntary Roster of Registered Medical Laboratory Technicians will serve the public interest by confirming they have voluntarily met a certain level of education and professional practice criteria.
Since the inception of the CMLTO Voluntary Roster of Registered Medical Laboratory Technicians (“the Voluntary Roster”), the CMLTO has published the minimum criteria for medical laboratory assistants and technicians to be included on the Voluntary Roster. These criteria were introduced in 2015 and updated in 2018. CMLTO reviews the Voluntary Roster criteria on annually with the intent of evolving them to mirror the MLT registration requirements.
Stakeholders are invited to comment on the proposed amendments to the CMLTO Voluntary Roster criteria, which were approved by Council at its September meeting. Please access the online survey by clicking here. Feedback will be collected from September 30th to October 30th, 2020.
The feedback from this consultation will be presented to Council at the November meeting along with the final proposed amendments to the CMLTO Voluntary Roster, which will become effective January 1, 2021.
