College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario

What College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario does

The College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario (CMRITO) is a statutory regulatory college established by the Medical Radiation and Imaging Technology Act, 2017 under Ontario's Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. It is the sole regulator of medical radiation and imaging technologists (MRITs) in Ontario and regulates practitioners across five specialties: radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance, and diagnostic medical sonography. Its mandate is public protection through mandatory registration, maintenance of a public register, quality assurance of practising professionals, complaints and discipline processes, and the issuance of standards of practice and jurisprudence education. The organization is headquartered in Toronto and operates with approximately 35 staff.

CMRITO's core technology consists of web-based platforms: the Member & Applicant Portal (MAP), which is the primary access point for registrants; the QA ePortfolio, launched in its current form on January 1, 2022, which tracks annual Quality Assurance Program completion and continuing education; the publicly searchable Public Register of authorized practitioners; the Jurisprudence Course, an online regulatory education module; and the QuickQA mobile app for QA activity tracking. The college is funded by annual registration fees and one-time application fees, with a registrant base that has grown 80% since 2011 while fees have remained unchanged. A proposed fee increase under By-law No. 60 was the subject of a public consultation in March 2025 that was paused in October 2024. The organization is governed by a Council of elected registrants and appointed public members under the oversight of the Ontario Ministry of Health, and participates in the Alliance of Medical Radiation Technologists Regulators of Canada.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Alliance of Medical Radiation Technologists Regulators of CanadaminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 26 November 2012The Alliance is comprised of six provincial regulators who have come together to ensure public protection by further advancing MRT regulation and standards, regulatory issues and patient care. CMRITO participates in this national alliance to inform provincial regulators on hybrid imaging equipment use and develop policies. This partnership involves the first nationwide survey of medical radiation technologists who operate hybrid imaging equipment (PET-CT, SPECT-CT and PET-MR).

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO): Ontario's regulator for physicians, also operating under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. Comparable legislative framework and regulatory mandate (registration, public register, QA, discipline), though at substantially larger scale than CMRITO.
• Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT): National professional association for medical radiation technologists in Canada. Highly comparable to CMRITO as the pan-Canadian counterpart, although it is a voluntary membership association rather than a provincial regulator; both organizations oversee the same profession and frequently collaborate through the Alliance of Medical Radiation Technologists Regulators of Canada.
• College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO): Large Ontario health profession regulator operating under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. Comparable as a co-regulator under the same Ontario legislative framework, though at much larger scale and with a similar fee-funded, public-register, QA-program operating model.
• Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP): Ontario's pharmacy regulator and a peer college under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991. Highly comparable as a fee-funded Ontario health profession college with a public register, QA program, and discipline function — useful benchmark for governance and fee structure.

Regional players

• Manitoba Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (MAMRT): Manitoba's provincial professional body for medical radiation technologists. Comparable as a provincial association/regulator of the same profession, providing a cross-Canada peer benchmark alongside CMRITO's Alliance membership.
• Ordre des technologues en imagerie médicale, en radio-oncologie et en électrophysiologie médicale du Québec (OTIMROEPMQ): Quebec's professional order regulating medical imaging, radiation oncology, and medical electrophysiology technologists. Directly comparable as a provincial regulator of the same profession under a different legislative framework, serving a distinct French-language jurisdiction.
• Saskatchewan Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (SAMRT): Saskatchewan's provincial regulator for medical radiation technologists. Comparable as a provincial MRIT regulator with a similar mandate under different provincial legislation; useful peer for cross-jurisdictional benchmarking.
• British Columbia Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (BCAMRT): BC's professional body for medical radiation technologists. Comparable as a provincial organization serving the same profession, though operating in a less centralized regulatory framework than Ontario.

Direct peers

• College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO): Ontario health profession regulator for medical laboratory technologists. Operates under the same Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 with a near-identical mandate, public register, QA program, and fee-funded non-profit structure, making it the closest direct-peer comparator for CMRITO.
• Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (ACMDTT): Alberta's regulator of medical diagnostic and therapeutic technologists, covering radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, MRI, and EMS. Directly comparable multi-specialty provincial college with the same regulatory mandate under Alberta's Health Professions Act.
