Welcome to CAMRT-AB
Your Home for Provincial Association Services in Alberta
CAMRT-AB is the home for provincial association services for medical radiation technologists (MRTs) in Alberta. CAMRT-AB provides an array of services to its members, including communicating with the Government of Alberta, providing local education events and expanding our volunteer network through the Site Ambassador Program. In addition the Provincial Manager visits sites across the province to provide updates and meet with members.
Formation
With changes to provincial legislation requiring provincial regulators to cease any association duties, a group of passionate MRTs approached CAMRT to inquire into the provincial model. After much discussion, and a vote from membership in 2022, the CAMRT-AB model took shape.
