Leave of Absence
NSCMLT registrants going on or on maternity/paternity leave, short or long term illness, leave of absence, or relocating out of province are required to notify the College of such leave. The purpose is to ensure proper use of the titles "MLA", "MLT" or "CLXT" (MLPs) and to protect the public by ensuring that all medical laboroatory testing is provided by licensed MLP.
To submit a Notice for Non-Practice to the college;
- Log into your account on the Member Portal
- In the sidebar menu go to the Requests section
- Fill out and submit the Notice for Non-Practice Form
This will allow the MLP to remain in good standing. If there is an unusual circumstance, then the MLP should contact the College for further direction. This ensures the individual has the proper licence when they return to practice without requiring restriction being imposed.
