What is the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO)?
The CMLTO is responsible for regulating the medical technology profession in Ontario by ensuring that all MLTs are qualified to practise and are practising in a safe, effective, ethical, and competent manner. The CMLTO was established in 1993 by a law called the Regulated Health Professions Act , 1991 (RHPA). The RHPA states that anyone who wishes to practise medical laboratory technology in Ontario must be registered with the CMLTO and must then work according to the Medical Laboratory Technology Act, 1991 and the CMLTO regulations and standards. The title Medical Laboratory Technologist and the initials MLT can only be used by a member of the CMLTO. The CMLTO issues certificates of registration in General Medical Laboratory Technology (which includes Biochemistry, Microbiology, Hematology, Transfusion Science, Histology, and Phlebotomy), Cytotechnology, and Clinical Genetics Technology (which includes Molecular Genetics and Cytogenetics).
