The Ontario Society of Medical Technologists is a professional society for Medical Laboratory Technologists and Medical Laboratory Assistants/Technicians in the province of Ontario. The Society does not maintain an employment bureau, grant permission to practice or evaluate credentials for employment purposes. Legislation in Ontario requires medical laboratory technologists to be members of the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO). Inquiries on entry to practice requirements should be addressed to: The
Registrar Please contact the CMLTO for the requirements needed to be certified as a medical technologist. OSMT MEMBERSHIP Membership with the OSMT falls into two categories, Medical Laboratory Technologist (MLT) and Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technician (MLA/T). To be an MLT member it is mandatory to be registered with the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO). To be an MLA/T member, you must be certified by an approved certification program, which requires writing a certification exam. Registration deadline for the OSMT MLA/T Exam application is generally 5 months prior to the exam date. You must be in Ontario at the time of the exam to be eligible. We recommend foreign applicants to give serious consideration before applying as we have many difficulties with mailing documents by deadline dates and also having foreign applicants actually arriving to write the exam because of immigration problems. Information on OSMT MLA/T Certification can be found on our MLA/T Exam page. If you are interested in membership, we have a subscriber category for membership, which entitles you to receive our magazine, “Advocate”. The cost is $120 Canadian per year plus extra postage charges for mailing internationally. We also have an "Affiliate" category for individuals or organizations who wish to have a formal association with a professional body. Both of these categories are non-voting and do not include liability insurance coverage. If you are interested in membership in our Society, please contact our membership coordinator at lvoong@osmt.org.
