[@noone11818]

Hi There, Congratulations on your achievement. I'm going to attempt CSMLS exam this month; however; i am dubious about some of the modules given in CSMLA competency profile like: Quality management, communication and interaction and professional prace. Are there any books available which would help me preparing for these modules. Thanks.

[@bhoomipatel8425]

Thank you much for such positive and informative video. my questions are regarding after PLA process. I'm a Bachleors in medical laboratory technician from India, with 2 years of work experience in Histopathology. I'm worried about the courses they will recommend me to complete and secondly, where can complete those courses, do I have take admissions in college again, how much it can cost ? Waiting for your response .... Bhoomi

[@mabiandrupert]

each provinces have different institutions that offer courses for refresher or to fill in gaps. but for bridging program the only provinces that i am aware of that offers it are ontario and alberta

[@namunakarki2402]

Hi, I found your videos very helpful. Thank you for your videos. I was just wondering about the work authorization. Do you have any idea if csmls directly contact our college or workplace back in our country for any authorization? Do they inquire with our lab or college back in our country. I did Bachelor in MLT and worked as a medical lab technologist. I would appreciate your answer. Thank you.

[@mabiandrupert]

i assumed they would reach out to them, thats why they require that you put all the necessary information on each required document

[@bwogi2]

how are CSMLS questions when compared to ASCP in terms of difficulty and the CSMLS practice question books are they worthy buying

[@mabiandrupert]

i would say ascp had both theoretical and critical thinking questions. csmsls is more on application and critical thinking for me. I suggest that you visit the csmls website to know more about the exam.

[@jincyjackson3641]

I have started to prepare for CSMLS exam. I have already started PLA assessment. I applied for General Medical laboratory technologist category. So to my knowledge the competencies for these are safe work practices, Data and specimen collection and Handling, Analytical processes, Interpretation and reporting of results, quality management, Critical Thinking, Communication and interaction, professional practice. Correct me if I am wrong.. so my question is for the above competencies should I review the books that you mentioned?? Or are these books for another category exam like diagnostic cytology?? Please enlighten me? Please give me a reply. Thank you

[@mabiandrupert]

the review materials in this video were the books I used when I reviewed for the exam.. i just shared this but it will still be up to you if you want to use the same materials. I took the General MLT Exam

[@naidiacooke2602]

Thanks. I have 1 question. I've planned to take CSMLT clinical genetics exam. Is it essential to study all five disciplines? If the ansewr is yes, is there any resource for genetics discipline?

[@mabiandrupert]

im actually not much familiar with clinical genetics. i assumed it is a different discipline requirements or courses but you can check the csmls website for resources as they have recommendations there as well

did you find any difficulty in the exams after preparing from these books? did you pass with above expectation marks?and do you think this time is enough for the 210 questions?

the scoring system is angoff method. i did find the exam difficult compared to other licensure exam i had. if your score is beyond expectation mark you will passed the exam. i dont know my score because they will just tell you what is the passing score for your batch. hope this make sense?

[@mabiandrupert]

i am not sure if MLT could be the right school for you. actually any school to get a student visa is ok if your goal is to legally enter Canada. But i suggest look for schools that are somehow related to your educational background. Each schools in canada have their own websites, its upto you now where do you want to enroll but make sure this school that you are aiming for is accepting international students.
