Regulation varies from province to province, but in Alberta, medical radiation technologists (MRTs) and electroneurophysiology technologists (ENPs) are governed by the Health Professions Act (HPA). As per this legislation, every person who practices radiological technology, nuclear medicine technology, magnetic resonance technology, electroneurophysiology technology or radiation therapy in Alberta must hold valid and current registration with the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (the College).
If you are relocating to Alberta from another province or territory in Canada, there are two main methods by which you can apply for registration: Labour Mobility and Non-Labour Mobility.
The Non-Labour Mobility process is for applicants who:
- have completed an educational program in medical radiation or electroneurophysiology technology in Canada,
- and are currently practicing in a Canadian province or territory that is not regulated (see table below) or at the time of applying for registration in Alberta have already resigned their registration in a province where their specialty is regulated.
Current province/territory of practice or training | Specialties to which labour mobility provisions do not apply |
---|---|
Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut | Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
British Columbia | Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
Saskatchewan | Electroneurophysiology |
Manitoba | Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
Ontario | Electroneurophysiology |
Quebec | Radiological Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
New Brunswick | Electroneurophysiology |
Nova Scotia | Electroneurophysiology |
Prince Edward Island | Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
Newfoundland and Labrador | Radiological Nuclear Medicine Radiation Therapy Magnetic Resonance Electroneurophysiology |
If you don’t see your specialty in the table above and are currently registered with a regulatory authority, you may be eligible to apply using the labour mobility process.
The College is committed to being transparent, objective, impartial and procedurally fair in our application process. Please see the Additional Registration Information page for more information.
If you’re not sure you meet the requirements or if you have any questions, please feel welcome to contact the College by email at registration@acmdtt.com or by phone at 780.487.6130.
