INTERNAL MONITORING

Internal Monitoring is a process that is being held for the first time during 2009 in Greece. Its aim is to maintain the high standards among the OMT’s who have.

Our country was first accepted as an IFOMT member in 2005, so we allowed a time period of approximately four (4) years in order to work and establish our approved curriculum and have the first groups of OMTs complete it after the acceptance.

In this time we assumed we had the time to do some necessary “upgrades” in the program, have some more information by contacting other MOs in meetings like the IFOMT congress in Rotterdam, and by talking to members of the executive and also the standards’ committee. We had a lot of help not only by the MOs during various discussions in terms of input and how things work in different countries, but we also had a lot of help from the Standards’ Committee and especially from Dr. Alison Rushton who spent much of her time supporting us in our effort. We are thankful to all of them!

Since this is the first time that such a procedure is being implemented we are now.

As regards frequency of this Monitoring, we do not know at the moment how often it will be taking place but it will not be sooner than a four (4) year-period in between.

The process of Internal Monitoring has a written and an oral examination, just like the OMT Diploma examination. More details will be available when the procedure is finished.
