As a Massage Therapy student, you are embarking on a rewarding career path in health care that can make a significant impact on people’s lives. In your journey, it is important to understand what you need to know about becoming an RMT/MT in Ontario and what it means to be regulated by CMTO. We created a student guide that addresses these questions.

RMTs/MTs have professional and legal obligations to their clients, colleagues, CMTO, and the public. In this student guide you’ll find information that covers:

• What does it mean to be a regulated health professional?
• What is required to become registered with CMTO?
• Why does CMTO ask questions about my past, including whether I have a criminal record?
• How does CMTO prevent and address sexual abuse in the profession?
• What are the rules relating to issuing receipts for Massage Therapy?
• Can students practise Massage Therapy before they are registered?

We encourage all students to review this comprehensive guide to understand your professional responsibilities and set yourself up for success.
