The Canadian Alliance of Medical Laboratory Professionals Regulators (CAMLPR) represents provincial regulatory member organizations for Medical Laboratory Technologists in Canada.
As part of our legislated regulatory requirements, CAMLPR announced on August 13, 2024 that it will assume the responsibility for the delivery of prior learning assessment and assessment/examination services, as well as the release of new competency profiles for the eight fields of practice within the medical laboratory technologist (MLT) profession. These competency profiles will be used by the CAMLPR affiliated authorities and other jurisdictions for the assessment and registration of all applicants for registration with health regulatory Colleges for medical laboratory technologists.
Since the announcement, CAMLPR has received many inquiries about this transition. We recognize the impact that these changes will have across the medical laboratory technology sector, and to educational institutions specifically.
CAMLPR will be hosting a webinar with information updates regarding these changes, specifically for medical laboratory science educators. The webinar will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 from 12:00 – 1:30 pm EST.
