While we are no longer permitted to provide member-centric services like the annual conference and branch events, the College is committed to providing new regulatory education opportunities for our members to enhance their understanding of how health regulation ties into their everyday practice.

Plans are already underway for a virtual regulatory education event this fall, which will take place over two days and offer members the opportunity to earn up to 7 hours toward their CCP. Topics for the event’s presentations will be mapped to the Standards of Practice and other regulatory documents to ensure our compliance with Bill 46 while making a meaningful contribution to the continuing education of our members. The event is scheduled for October 16 and 23, 2021; more details to follow this summer.

The College is also collaborating with the Alberta College of Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technologists (ACCLXT), the College and Association of Respiratory Therapists of Alberta (CARTA) and the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Alberta (CMLTA) to create a series of learning modules, which will likely cover the following topics:

• Professional communication
• Professional boundaries
• Patient consent
• Professionalism and social media

We plan to release each module as it becomes available this fall. Every module will include a quiz and the Competence Committee will determine how many hours can be used towards a regulated member’s CCP once a module is ready for release.

We will update the Regulatory Education page as more details about the regulatory education event and modules become available.
