ABOUT US
The Canadian Alliance of Medical Laboratory Professionals Regulators (CAMLPR) is not-for-profit organization composed of provincial health regulatory authorities who have the goal of clarifying a mutual understanding of the registration criteria in each province where medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) are regulated. They ensure that all regulated MLTs have the same entry to practice level of competencies regardless of which province they are first registered in or where they were trained, and that the public is, therefore, adequately protected.
THE PROJECT
Internationally Educated Medical Laboratory Technologists (IEMLT) who are interested in getting their qualifications recognized in Canada must navigate through multiple systems and jurisdictions to find all the information they need to work as an MLT in Canada. Using a website and database solution, international applicants will be able to submit an application, have the application reviewed by a registrar, receive feedback on issues related to application, and pay for application fees online as part of the application process. Administrators will be able to provide and edit information for applicants, review applications, and circulate applications to provincial registrars. Administrators will also be able to produce reports on various data points. This project will begin in Spring 2021.
THE REQUEST
CAMLPR is requesting proposals from experienced website and database developers to assist[1] with the development of a secure information website for internationally educated health professionals seeking to practice in Canada. The website features will also include:
- a membership portal
- an online application form
- a document management application for users to upload documents to their portfolio and track their progress with alerts of pending actions.
- a private communication channel between the client and the administrator
- a registration management database to handle registrations and payments
- database with the ability to produce reports on various datapoints and portals to distribute applications to various jurisdictions.
The information, data, comments, or reactions obtained may be used as research for future solicitation. CAMLPR will review all responses received. CAMLPR will only contact vendors should they have further questions or need clarification. Only the successful vendor(s) will be contacted.
