MRT Week 2024 will take place from November 3-9
Each year, during the week of November 8th, we celebrate MRT Week—a time to recognize the dedication and expertise of Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) who deliver essential imaging and radiation therapy services with a compassionate touch. MRTs are at the forefront of healthcare innovation, helping patients benefit from the latest advancements in diagnostic and treatment technologies.
Whether you’re an MRT professional, a healthcare enthusiast, or someone who values the transformative role of MRTs, join us in honoring their contributions. Let’s reflect on their achievements and celebrate the impact they have on shaping the future of healthcare.
Mark your calendar for MRT Week! Join CAMRT-AB in this annual celebration and help us recognize the commitment and excellence of MRTs.
