You are eligible for an Advanced Orthopaedic Technologist Diploma
Immigrants to Canada, including orthopaedic surgeons, should be aware that employment as an orthopaedic technician in a Canadian hospital must be acquired before you can join the CSOT. The CSOT is not set up to assess foreign credentials before you arrive in Canada. The CSOT is not a training school nor an employment agency.
Application forms for 2022
To join the CSOT, simply print off the appropriate Membership Application Form, (Acrobat Format) and mail it to us along with the application fee. We write to your sponsoring surgeon and H.R. Dept. and ask that they complete a form and return to us. This can takes weeks to receive. It's to your advantage to ensure these forms are completed a.s.a.p. Once you have been accepted for membership you are then eligible to write the exams at the first examining board. Members joining AFTER JULY 1 will not be eligible to take part in the October examinations.
Membership Year: January 1 - December 1

What if I'm not registered (a Full Member) and don't pay my fees?
Your name will be removed from our membership rolls and it will be necessary to reapply for membership. For those who relinquish their membership after failing any portion of the exam and then decide to renew their membership hoping to get three more attempts at passing - be advised this will not happen. EXAMPLE: Joe Smith writes his exam and fails. He rewrites in February and fails again. Joe then decides to drop his membership. Two years later his place of employment suggests that it would be beneficial for him to become Registered. Joe applies for membership in the CSOT again. What Joe doesn't know is that he will only have ONE MORE opportunity to successfully complete the written exam. His two other failures are still on record. A person has three opportunities to complete the exams. However .....If you passed the written portion of your exam and then let your membership lapse the exam will become null and void and you will have to rewrite.
