Commencement is an annual event held in honour of the MRT graduates of BC to recognize their accomplishments and welcome them into the profession. Commencement 2021 will be held virtually this fall, after the September certification exam. The virtual celebration will include videos containing messages of congratulations from the CAMRT/CAMRT-BC and members across the province. Graduates will also receive a letter from the Provincial Manager, along with a CAMRT-BC pin.
Although we wish we could be celebrating in person, we are certain this is the most responsible decision to preserve the health and safety of everyone involved, and to do our part to minimize the spread of COVID-19. CAMRT-BC will continue to monitor the latest updates from the government and public health officials to determine the safest way to move forward with this event next year.

SPECIALTY EVENTS IN BC
Along with our own events, we collaborate with provincial organizations, such as the British Columbia Radiological Society (BCRS), to connect MRTs to local events that are relevant to them. These meetings provide MRTs with access to the most relevant trends, research and clinical applications, and provide an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with the professionals they work with on a daily basis.
