CMRITO News August 2017

We are very happy to share with you the first edition of DMS Updates! This short newsletter is intended to keep MRTs, sonographers and stakeholders up to date about the process and progress to regulate diagnostic medical sonographers within the CMRTO. Click here to read the newsletter.

The College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario (CMRTO), the regulatory body responsible for regulating the practice of medical radiation technologists in Ontario, is looking for a professional, energetic, resilient individual to fill our new role of Director of Corporate Services.

The Council of the College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario (CMRTO) is proposing a regulation to amend the registration regulation made under the Medical Radiation Technology Act, 1991. The amending regulation will enable the CMRTO to register diagnostic medical sonographers as a fifth specialty. It also sets out the registration requirements for an applicant to be issued a certificate of registration in the new specialty. If enacted, it will come into effect at the beginning of 2018.

The CMRTO is pleased to announce that the government has decided to regulate diagnostic medical sonographers under the Regulated Health Professions Act and within the CMRTO!
