New Brunswick Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists

Our organization was born in 1948 when the New Brunswick Provincial Branch of the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists (CSLT) was formed. The NBSMLT was incorporated in 1984 and on May 9, 1991, under the New Brunswick Statute, "An Act Respecting the New Brunswick Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists", NB became the second province in Canada to regulate the practice of Medical Laboratory Technology.

The NBSMLT is both the regulatory body and professional society for approximately 650 Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLT's) in the province of New Brunswick. A medical laboratory technologist must maintain a high standard of practice in a fast paced and rapidly changing workplace environment through continuing education. The NBSMLT is the regulatory body that protects the public throughout these changes.
