Following the most recent news report from Quebec suggesting up to 30% of MRTs are thinking about leaving their employment in the public healthcare system, the CAMRT worked with the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) and Sonography Canada to put out a response.
“Now is the time to act. Radiology departments cannot continue to sustain the overwhelming need for imaging without a strong health human resources strategy and additional investments. Patients deserve better.”
Crisis in staff as MRT? I am internationally graduate as MRT with 15 years of experience, I work in goverment hospital in Dubai, I took the exams here in Canada 4x, I failed because the exams here are difficult, some questions are not in the scope of radiology, why make it hard if you are lacking of staff. In England 🏴 most of my co workers are working there because they don’t have exams., if you are well experience you can have your license as MRT, just complete all the requirements in Health Professional Council ( HPC ). Now I’m planning to take my exam in USA, they have exams for MRT there only for inter states which is much easier. Some rules here in Canada are no good. I hope the prime minister could read this. Thank you…
