The CMLTA Code of Ethics outlines the ethical rules that all medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) must follow. It works alongside the Standards of Practice to guide MLTs in their work and decision-making. These guidelines are required by law under the Health Professions Act, and all MLTs must follow them at all times. Breaking these rules could lead to complaints of unprofessional conduct.
The Code of Ethics sets clear expectations for MLTs and helps ensure they act professionally. If an MLT’s actions are questioned, the Code of Ethics, along with other regulations, will be used to decide whether they have acted unprofessionally.

The College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Alberta (CMLTA) is the regulatory body for Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) employed in Alberta.
We wish to acknowledge that the land on which the CMLTA office is located is Treaty 6 territory and a traditional meeting ground for many Indigenous people. This is home to the Cree, Blackfoot, and Metis, as it is for the Nakoda, Tsuu T’ina, Chipewyan, and other Indigenous people. Their spiritual and practical relationships to the land create a rich heritage for our life as a community.
