National Voice
As the national voice of Canada’s medical laboratory profession, CSMLS participates in several laboratory and health care-related organizations. Participation in these organizations is beneficial to CSMLS members and the overall profession, as they are useful tools for knowledge sharing, collaborating and awareness building. Members of the CSMLS Board of Directors and staff attend meetings of these organizations, and represent the Society at provincial congresses and special event across the country and worldwide.
