Bridging Project:

Peer Reviewers Needed for CAMRT’s e-Learning Micro-Certificate Program as part of the National Experiential Bridging Program for Internationally Educated Medical Radiation Technologists (IEMRTs) 

Are you interested in peer reviewing a course?  We are currently seeking three peer reviewers to examine, refine, and identify any gaps in the initial content developed for our e-learning program. This program consists of three micro-certificate e-learning courses designed to offer essential didactic learning opportunities to IEMRTs, facilitating their successful transition into the Canadian MRT workforce and addressing knowledge gaps.  The e-learning program includes the following three micro-certificate courses:

1. The Care Provider course, consisting of 3 modules, which focus on professional communication, patient assessment and response, and adapting care within MRT practice. 
2. The Safety in MRT Practice course, consisting of 4 modules, which cover general safety, x-ray radiation safety, nuclear medicine safety, and MR safety to ensure safe practice in the field. 
3. The Application of Image Analysis in MRT Practice course, consisting of 5 modules, focusing on image analysis across the four MRT disciplines: radiological technology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and magnetic resonance imaging. The fifth module addresses digital and CT imaging. 

This is a paid peer-review opportunity.  If you are interested in reviewing these courses, please reach out and/or submit your CV to <[email protected]>. We look forward to hearing from you! 

CAMRT Courses: Are you interested in volunteer peer reviewing a course? We have multiple availabilities throughout the year, including different lengths of courses and different topics. In many areas, you can self- claim peer review hours as Canadian CPD. Please reach out to <[email protected]> with any questions or to submit a CV for matching with a recent topic – thank you!

Current priorities include: organizational change; breast imaging (screening and pathology); stroke; radiation therapy and dosimetry. 

CAMRT is recruiting individuals who are interested in volunteering their time and expertise to peer review Continuing Professional Development (CPD) content and/or to assist with the assignment of credit through our Continuing Education Credit Approval Program (CECAP).

To support these ongoing processes, CAMRT requires volunteers in all disciplines and specializations. These volunteers are then called upon as needed to complete reviews related to their discipline or area of expertise. These are often quick to complete and show you what is out there, developed by your colleagues!

As a volunteer reviewer for the CAMRT, you will:

• Ensure newly developed CAMRT courses reflect current practice and clinical relevance
• Assign continuing education credit to educational activities available to MRTs in Canada

Recruitment for volunteer peer and credit reviewers for the CPD Program is ongoing.

For more information, please contact [email protected] or submit the application form with a current copy of your resumé.
