Approval to move forward with National Dialysis Certification
The Canadian Board of Examiners (CBE) promotes safe technical practice by promoting the certification of individuals in bio-medical engineering and now, dialysis technology. Recently, CBE received formal approval from the International Certification Commission (ICC) to incorporate dialysis under its umbrella for certification purposes. This follows a comprehensive national interest survey which showed continued interest in certification for dialysis technologists. The expedient completion to this project’s approval was made possible because of the cooperation between the Canadian executive for CBE and the Canadian Dialysis Technical Certification group. The Dialysis Technical Certification team wishes to acknowledge the work of Derek Uttley, Secretariat, and Murray Greenwood, Co-chair for CBE-BMET, in helping this important project come to fruition.
