College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario
The College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario (CMRTO) is the governing body for medical radiation technologists in Ontario.
The Office of the Fairness Commissioner (OFC) oversees the registration practices of the college to ensure that they are transparent, objective, impartial and fair for anyone who wants to practise as a medical radiation technologist in this province.
In 2009, the CMRTO submitted its first-ever Fair Registrations Practices (FRP) Report, covering 2008, to the OFC. Since then, it has also submitted an FRP Report covering 2009 and its first audit of registration practices.
During 2009 - 2010, the OFC monitored developments related to the registration practices of the CMRTO:
Language Proficiency: The CMRTO evaluated its language proficiency requirements for internationally trained applicants, to ensure that the requirements correspond to the language level that is actually needed to practise in the profession. As a result of the evaluation, the CMRTO increased the number of tests it accepts to demonstrate language proficiency from one to three, and it validated the scores applicants must get.
