In March 2023, RMTs with a General Certificate of Registration will be asked to complete Practice Profile, a component of the new risk-based approach to assessments. Once the submission period opens, RMTs will have 30 days to complete Practice Profile, which is accessed via the STRiVE platform. This process will take about an hour to complete.

Practice Profile has two sections:

In the first section, RMTs respond to questions about their risks and supports to competence.

The feedback helps RMTs reflect on their individual risks and supports to competence. RMTs are encouraged to respond honestly to receive the most value out of the feedback provided. Information on risks and supports to competence helps RMTs make decisions based on health professions’ literature and CMTO data. If a certain factor is identified as a risk, this doesn’t mean the RMT has a problem; rather, Practice Profile provides awareness of potential risks and available supports.

In the second section, RMTs answer questions about specified Standards of Practice and Regulations.

The selected Standards of Practice and Regulations for 2023 are:

• Infection Prevention and Control
• Prevention of Sexual Abuse
• Safety and Risk Management
• Record Keeping

Once Practice Profile is submitted, RMTs will receive customized feedback. That’s why it’s important that RMTs answer Practice Profile questions accurately, as this will generate the most helpful feedback.
