Additional and enhanced practice authorization update

Posted: September 28, 2021

In July 2021, Council approved the following training programs for additional and enhanced practice authorizations:

  • Automated Breast Ultrasound – Insight Medical Imaging
  • Medication Administration and Aseptic Technique – Beam Radiology -Calgary
  • Medication Preparation and Aseptic Technique – Peace Diagnostic Imaging

A full list of all additional and enhanced practice authorizations and their approved training programs can be found on the Additional and Enhanced Practice Authorization page. Regulated members should note that in order to perform any of the activities listed on this page, you must first complete one of the corresponding approved programs, then apply for authorization through My Profile. Once you have submitted your application, your supervisor must confirm your competence and the College has to review and approve the application before you are authorized to perform the associated activity.

All additional and enhanced practice authorizations expire on December 31 every year. During the annual renewal process, you will be asked if you want to renew each authorization you have. If you say “Yes,” you will need to verify your supervisor’s information, and when you submit your renewal your supervisor will be sent an email with a link where they can confirm that you are still competent to perform the associated activity. Please note that while some workplaces may require you to complete training every year for an activity requiring additional or enhanced practice authorization, the College only requires documentation for your initial application and accepts your supervisor’s sign-off as sufficient evidence in subsequent renewals.
