The Canadian Alliance of Medical Laboratory Professionals Regulators (CAMLPR) represents provincial regulatory bodies (also called Colleges) for Medical Laboratory Technologists in Canada.
The role of CAMLPR is to establish standards for the knowledge, skills, and judgement in the practice of medical laboratory technology. CAMLPR is focused on fair, efficient, effective, ethical, transparent, and inclusive regulatory approaches and practices for medical laboratory professional regulation across Canada.
Accountability
CAMLPR is accountable to its member organizations, the professional regulatory bodies for MLTs. Each regulatory body has a board/council that includes professional and public representatives. To serve and protect the public, these boards establish, maintain, and enforce:
- standards for registration
- standards for continuing competency
- standards of practice for registrants
Regulatory bodies are accountable to their respective ministries of health and fairness commissioners, and must comply with privacy, human rights, and other applicable legislation.
