Practice Permit Renewal for 2025 opened Oct. 1, 2024

Maintaining your College registration is one of the most important legal obligations for all medical radiation and electroneurophysiology technologists practicing in Alberta.

Who can apply for Renewal?

This process applies to you if:

  • You have a current practice permit with the College, and you want to continue to practice or resign your registration.

Under the Health Professions Act (HPA) and the Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists Profession Regulation (the Regulation), all College registrants are required to renew their practice permit each year to be legally authorized to practice the profession of medical radiation or electroneurophysiology technology in Alberta.

Options for Leave, Moving, Retirement, or Resignation

If you are on or planning to be on leave (including maternity/paternity), or are moving out of Alberta, retiring, or want to resign your registration, you have two options:

This is the easiest and most convenient option if you plan to return to practice in Alberta soon.

  • You Must:
    • Complete Continuing Competence Program (CCP) requirements.
    • Have Profession Liability Insurance

This is the best option if you will not be practicing or are unsure about returning to practice in Alberta for an extended period.

  • Before Resigning:
    • Log in to My Profile and complete all Continuing Competence Program requirements until your resignation date.
    • Pay any outstanding invoices.
    • Verify with your Professional Liability Insurance provider that your policy includes Policy Continuation to cover claims for any incidents that may have occurred while you were actively practicing.
  • After Resigning:
    • You cannot work as an MRT or ENP.
    • You cannot use protected titles associated with these professions.

After Resignation, Returning to Practice (Reinstatement)

If you resigned and want to return to practice, follow the Reinstatement Application process:

We recommend submitting your Reinstatement Application at least 6 weeks before you plan to return to work. The College will assess your application to ensure it meets the stated registration requirements and issue you a decision letter.

If you don’t meet all registration requirements, you may be required to undergo additional practice assessments to determine competency. Timing and fees are based on individual circumstances.

NEW FOR 2025

After receiving feedback on last year’s Renewal process, you can expect notable upgrades this year to elevate your experience, ease frustration, and protect your practice.

The biggest changes include removing supervisor approvals and requiring personal Professional Liability Insurance.

It is always best to apply for new Additional and Enhanced Authorizations before starting your Renewal.

All additional and enhanced practice authorizations expire on December 31 every year and are renewed online during the renewal process. Your current authorizations will be displayed, and you will be asked if you want to renew each one.

  • If you want to renew an authorization, select “Yes”.
  • If you do not want to renew an authorization, select “No” and you will no longer be authorized to perform the activity associated with this authorization as of January 1, 2025. You will be asked to confirm that you do not wish to renew your authorization before proceeding to the next step.

Adding New Authorizations

New authorizations cannot be added through the renewal system. If you would like to apply for a new Additional or Enhanced Practice Authorization, please see the Additional and Enhanced Practice Authorization page. After the authorization is approved, it is effective immediately and you will be authorized to perform the activity for the remainder of 2024. Renewal of the authorization will occur as part of the renewal process. 

If you apply for authorization after you have already completed your renewal but before the end of the year, your authorization will be valid for the remainder of 2024 and will be automatically renewed for 2025 once it has been approved.

If you have not completed your Continuing Competence Program (CCP), you will be blocked from renewing until all requirements have been completed.  

You also need to affirm that you have complied with your 2023-2024 CCP requirements by answering “Yes” to a legal declaration during the renewal process. False or misleading statements will be grounds for referral to the Complaints Director for further investigation.

Once you have completed all sections of the renewal and verified the accuracy of the information, you can submit it. Your renewal will either be processed automatically or require review. If you need to make a change to your renewal after it’s been submitted, please contact us at registration@acmdtt.com, 780.487.6130 or 1.800.282.2165.

If you aren’t ready to submit your renewal, you can save your current progress and complete it later by clicking the “Save for later” button at the bottom of the page. Your saved renewal will be available on your My Profile home page.

If you haven’t submitted your renewal yet and you want to start over or discard it (e.g., if you accidentally initiated a registration change or if you decide you want to resign), you can delete your current renewal by clicking the “Withdraw” button at the bottom of the screen. Please note that this will permanently delete any new information added within the renewal (including profile updates), but the “Renew” box will reappear on your home page and you can start a new renewal right away.
