Robin is a radiological technologist who is authorized to administer medication through additional and enhanced practice authorization.

What does Robin need to do during the annual registration renewal period (October 1 to November 30)?

Robin has to renew their practice permit, as well as their additional and enhanced practice authorization. The College has moved additional and enhanced practice authorization applications and renewals online. Robin will have to provide the following information about their supervisor to renew their authorization:

• Name
• Position
• Phone number
• Email address

Once the registration renewal is submitted, the supervisor will be sent an email requesting them to review the authorization. Robin’s renewal will not be complete until their supervisor has confirmed the authorization.

Robin should:

• Ensure they have the correct supervisor email address
• Follow up with their supervisor if necessary (the link expires after one week)

What if Robin does not renew part or all of their practice permit?

If Robin does not complete their registration renewal, they will not be able to practice as a radiological technologist as of January 1, 2021. Their permit will be administratively suspended and they must contact the College to complete their registration as of this date.

If Robin renews their registration but selects ‘No’ to renewing their medication administration enhanced authorization, the authorization will expire on December 31, 2020, and they will not be able to prepare and/or administer medication after this date.
