Recent graduates who have successfully completed a College-approved educational program but have not successfully completed the approved entry-to-practice examination (CAMRT or CBRET) can practice the profession. A temporary practice permit allows these graduates to work in the interim.
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, or watch our webinar on YouTube that explains the process.
Please note that you must complete your educational program and obtain employment before applying for temporary registration. Applications cannot be started early.
Supervision
Members in the temporary register have limitations on their practice. They must be employed, and supervised by a regulated member in the general register who practices in the same specialty when performing restricted activities.
Where an appropriate regulated member is not available to supervise a temporary member, the temporary member may seek approval from the College to receive supervision by a supervisor who
- is a regulated healthcare professional, and
- is authorized by their regulatory body to perform the restricted activity that is being supervised.
A supervising regulated healthcare professional is required to provide indirect supervision to the temporary member. Indirect supervision means that the supervising regulated member must remain available for immediate physical assistance while the temporary member is performing the restricted activity. Availability by electronic devices is not acceptable.
Regulated members are to restrict themselves to performing only those restricted activities that they are competent to perform and that are appropriate to their areas of practice and the procedures being performed.
Please note that members who hold temporary registration cannot supervise students.
If you have any questions about temporary registration, please feel welcome to contact the College by email at registration@acmdtt.com or by phone at 780.487.6130 or 1.800.282.2165.
