The College is currently looking for regulated members to fill a number of positions on the Registration Committee, Competence Committee, Hearing Tribunal/Complaint Review Committee and Nominations and Appointments Committee. Volunteering on a College committee is a great way to make an impact on how the professions serve Albertans. Meetings are planned ahead and held electronically and in-person when possible. Training, travel and accommodation are provided by the College.

To qualify to be a member of a committee or tribunal, an individual must be a regulated member of the College in the general register and disclose any association that might be, or might reasonably be seen as being, a conflict in performing the duties of that committee/tribunal. We are looking for individuals who:

• Can examine facts without bias
• Abide by strong ethical values
• Adhere to confidentiality
• Portray a high degree of professionalism
• Show fairness and empathy
• Can look at the whole picture and all the impacts of a decision
• Are committed to the concept of administrative justice

Details about the committees and current openings can be found below. If you would like to be considered for a committee, please email us at communications@acmdtt.com to express your interest by July 23, 2021.

Registration Committee

The Registration Committee is responsible for considering and making decisions regarding applications for registration referred by the Registrar. The College is currently seeking regulated members from the specialties of nuclear medicine technology (1), radiological technology (3) and magnetic resonance (1) to join this committee starting this fall for a renewable three-year term. Meetings are held on workdays up to six times a year (up to four hours per meeting).

Competence Committee

The Competence Committee is responsible for monitoring that individual registered members comply with the requirements of the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) and monitoring the components of the CCP in order to accurately reflect current needs to enhance the provision of professional services. The College is currently seeking two regulated members representing the specialty of radiological technology to join this committee starting September 1, 2021, for a renewable three-year term. Workshops are held on workdays once a year and a two-day CCP audit meeting takes place every October.

Hearing Tribunal/Complaint Review Committee

The Hearing Tribunal is responsible for holding hearings on allegations of unprofessional conduct, and the Complaint Review Committee is responsible for reviewing and ratifying settlements under the Alternative Complaint Resolution Process and conducting reviews of dismissal of complaints if a review is applied for by the complainant. The College is currently seeking regulated members from all specialties to join the tribunal/committee starting this fall for a renewable three-year term.

Disciplinary hearings and complaint reviews provide a platform to ensure the public’s safety. As a member of the Hearing Tribunal/Complaint Review Committee, you represent your colleagues in standing up for professional and ethical behaviour. The College will provide you with access to training to familiarize yourself with the concepts of administrative justice and your role as a member of the Hearing Tribunal/Complaint Review Committee.

The College does not hold many hearings, so the commitment could be minimal. The time commitment would generally involve a day’s participation in a hearing with additional time for making your decision and debriefing the decision. As part of the Hearing Tribunal/Complaint Review Committee, you will be guided by independent legal counsel to review facts and formulate reasons that will impact the disciplinary orders of non-compliant members. This duty is of great importance with respect to upholding the College’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.

Nominations and Appointments Committee

The Nominations and Appointments Committee is responsible for ensuring a high standard of governance and the continued effectiveness of the College’s Council by encouraging and identifying prospective applicants for vacant Council positions. Members of this committee assess and interview all applicants to ensure they meet the requirements of the HPA, bylaws and Council policy, and make recommendations to Council on appointments for vacant positions. Additionally, this committee is charged with maintaining a committee manual that will include a competency matrix to address vacant Council positions, a rubric for assessing applicants, interview questions and a timeline. The College is currently seeking regulated members from all specialties to join this committee starting this fall for a renewable three-year term. Meetings are held five to six times per year.
