Readiness Self-Assessment Tools for IEMRTs

IMPORTANT for all internationally educated medical radiation technologists (IEMRTs) who wish to live and work in their profession in Canada.

The Readiness Self-Assessment Tools for IEMRTs are online tools that help IEMRTs assess if they are likely to meet requirements to practice in a Canadian context, and what the Canadian work environment looks like.

The Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists has developed four (4) online readiness self-assessment tools for IEMRTs; one for each of the disciplines of  radiological technology, magnetic resonance, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine technology.

The purpose of the tools is to provide a glimpse into the life and practice of the profession of medical radiation technology in Canada. It identifies areas of knowledge and practice that should be considered by the IEMRT.

The benefits of using the tools are:

• a better understanding of Canadian practice in your profession
• a better understanding of the competencies required to work in Canada and the expectations of employers
• assistance to identify areas for improvement to practice in Canada
• a more informed decision to immigrate and apply for certification in Canada
• assistance to identify available resources

The tools are not intended to be an assessment for licensure, but simply an overview of the profession.The self-assessment tool is a personal guide and can be found at the following links:

The Readiness Self-Assessment Tool has been developed with funding from Health Canada.
The IEHP Atlantic Connection Steering Committee, in partnership with Price-MacDonald & Associates (PMA) Consulting Inc. and the Nova Scotia Community College has developed the prototype for the on-line readiness self-assessment tool.  CAMRT has developed the content for the medical radiation technology discipline-specific tools.
