How MRTs and ENPs Benefit from Bill 46 Changes

Carolyn Black2024-09-25T15:58:13-06:00

The College’s focus is to regulate medical radiation technologists (MRTs) and electroneurophysiology technologists (ENPs) to provide safe, competent, and ethical care to Albertans. This has come into sharper clarity in recent years through compliance with the requirements of Bill 46, which obligated the College to refine its focus on the public interest. Though Bill 46 caused the College to end several programs and events, many more have begun, and registrants directly benefit from these changes. More convenient, less costly learning [...]

Bill 46 Update: Branches

Carolyn Black2024-02-29T14:06:23-07:00

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 [...]

Bill 46 Impact: Bylaws, Standards of Practice

Carolyn Black2024-02-12T16:19:31-07:00

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.
