All RMTs registered by October 31, 2021 completed CMTBC’s online course, titled Code of Ethics & Practice Environment Standard, as a requirement for registration renewal for 2022. New RMTs, registered for the first time with CMTBC on or after November 1, 2021, are exempt from the requirement to complete CECs in Cycle 13.

RMTs earned 10 continuing education credits (CECs) toward Cycle 13 requirements, upon successful completion of the Code of Ethics & Practice Environment Standard course. For detailed information on the Code of Ethics & Practice Environment Standard course, and other CMTBC online courses, see the CMTBC Online Courses page.

In addition, RMTs will complete continuing education (CE) activities approved for credit by CMTBC’s Quality Assurance Committee. CE activities in this category are electives – RMTs can select which activities to complete. Activities can be selected from the Cycle 13 – Approved Continuing Education Activities list, or RMTs can submit an application for approval of a new activity, under Cycle 13 Criteria for Approval.

In Cycle 13, RMTs receive CECs for completing approved CE activities in two categories:

• Evidence Informed Practice (EIP) – a new CE category in Cycle 13. RMTs will earn 10 CECs for completion of each approved CE activity in this category, irrespective of the form the activity takes, and/or,
• Previously approved Practical Education (PE) and Professional Development (PD) activities – approved Cycle 12 CE activities that are offered in Cycle 13 with the identical content/form/time/instructors are approved for Cycle 13.

RMTs can obtain elective CECs in Cycle 13 by completing any approved EIP, PE and/or PD activity.

In accordance with CMTBC’s Bylaws, RMTs must also maintain current certification in Standard First Aid (SFA)/CPR-C. SFA/CPR-C certification is a requirement for all RMTs who hold Practising status.
