The Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (the College) receives and manages complaints of unprofessional conduct against its regulated members as part of its mandate to protect the public under the Health Professions Act (HPA).
In order to fulfill this mandate, the HPA grants health colleges the authority to enforce ethical conduct and standards of practice to protect the public’s health and well-being. As per Part 4 of the HPA, the College has the authority to attempt to resolve complaints, investigate or appoint investigators, seek the advice of experts, dismiss the complaint (if trivial or vexatious), or take other actions allowed under the HPA. The College follows the principles of procedural fairness in its processes while remaining transparent in our processes and accountable to the public.
Unprofessional conduct is defined in the HPA and includes conduct such as, but not limited to, displaying a lack of knowledge of or lack of skill or judgment in the provision of professional services and contravention of the act, the College’s Code of Ethics or Standards of Practice.
