Why is the CMLTO creating a voluntary roster for medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians?
The College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO) voluntary roster for medical laboratory assistants and medical laboratory technicians will enable non-regulated medical laboratory practitioners who meet certain criteria to demonstrate adherence to a set of clear guidelines. This will establish, for the first time, a standardized way to classify medical laboratory assistants and technicians. Until the time that medical laboratory assistants and technicians are regulated health professionals in Ontario, the voluntary roster will serve the public interest by confirming medical laboratory assistants and technicians meet a certain level of educational and professional practice criteria. Those individuals who successfully meet the criteria for registration on the voluntary roster will be granted access to the designation of “Registered Medical Laboratory Technician” or “Registered Medical Laboratory Assistant”.
