The Regulatory Education Symposium held on October 22, 2022, was a resounding success with over 500 registrants for the four-hour Zoom learning event. The featured session was a two-hour workshop on diversity and inclusion presented by Michael Bach, CCDP/AP, the founder of the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI) and CEO of CCDI Consulting. Two other sessions were equally as popular: “Patient Fetal and Gonadal Shielding During Diagnostic Imaging Exams” with Andrea Kadar and David Hatch, and “Surveying the Landscape: [...]
The College’s branches were originally established to provide members opportunities for education, networking and discussion. Amendments to the Health Professions Act (HPA) introduced by Bill 46 require that the College only carry out professional regulatory duties in the public interest, which has a direct impact on branches. The object of branches as stated in the bylaws was to “provide members with a forum for discussion, professional development and networking.” In June 2021, Council carefully reviewed the legislation and received legal advice [...]

Connor and Lana are about to begin working at a clinic. Connor is enrolled in a medical radiation technology program and is currently in the clinical practicum portion of his program. Lana has just graduated from a medical radiation technology program but has not yet passed the entry-to-practice examination. What are the College-mandated conditions of their employment? Students do not need to be registered with the College to complete their practicums. As a student, Connor is a “non-regulated worker.” [...]
Much of the work the College has done in response to Bill 46 so far has been focused on the mandated separation of colleges and association functions. Over the last few months, however, we have started to prepare for the next phase of Bill 46’s implementation, which will require the development of new or amended college regulations, standards of practice, and bylaws. In February, Council approved the College’s new Bylaws. This revised document follows a template that was created by [...]
The College announced over the summer that our bylaws have been updated to reflect that branches will be dissolved on July 1, 2022. In the meantime, branches will continue to operate as they always have. The College has been working with the branch chairs to provide guidance on the transition and answer any questions they have. We have encouraged branches to plan more events for their members between now and June and we will continue to provide support for [...]
The College is continuing to review our operations and implement changes related to Bill 46. The Health Professions Act (HPA) does not require the College to hold an annual membership meeting, while the Alberta Societies Act, which governs professional associations in the province, does require these types of meetings. This can create confusion about the regulatory role of the College, so Council has determined that membership meetings are an association activity and removed the requirement that the College hold [...]
Based on a careful review of these changes and legal advice, Council has made the following decisions and updated the College bylaws where applicable: Branches will be dissolved as of July 1, 2022. The College will no longer host an annual conference. Associate membership will be discontinued as of January 1, 2022. This membership category also includes honorary life membership. The bylaws state that the object of branches is to “provide members with a forum for discussion, professional development [...]
