External Course Listings

External Course Listings

The Professional Development Bulletin includes listings for courses and workshops hosted by external providers across Canada. These independent listings offer RMTs the opportunity to explore evidence-based topics within, or complementary to, the scope of massage therapy.  

How it Works

Approved listings reach the RMTAO’s network via: 

  • The Friday File: Included in our weekly e-newsletter sent to the RMTAO network.  

Listing requirements

To maintain a high standard of relevance for the RMT community, all submissions must meet the following criteria: 

  • Scope: Topics must be within or complementary to the scope of massage therapy. 
  • Evidence-Based: Courses must focus on evidence-based topics led by presenters with proven experience. 
  • Specifics: Each listing must be for a specific course with a defined date and time. 

Before You Submit

To ensure your listing is approved, please verify it meets the following criteria:  

  • Evidence-Based Scope: Topics must be evidence-based and fall within (or be complementary to) the scope of massage therapy. 
  • Presenter Bio: You must include a biography detailing the presenter’s proven expertise in the topic. 
  • One Course Per Submission: Each listing is for one (1) specific course with a defined date and time. (A single course spanning multiple days is accepted; submissions for two or more distinct courses will be rejected and refunded.) 

Review & Approval Process

  • Payment & Review: Submissions are reviewed after payment is received in full. 
  • Timeline: Please allow two (2) business days for review. You will receive an approval notification via email. 
  • Modifications: The RMTAO may seek clarification or require changes during review. All listings are subject to final approval; if a listing is not approved, a full refund will be issued.
