MRT Week 2020 is taking place from November 8-14
MRT Week is an annual celebration (which falls on the week of November 8th every year) of the essential role that medical radiation technologists (MRTs) play in the healthcare system. MRTs deliver professional imaging and radiation-related treatment services with a caring touch, allowing patients to fully benefit from the latest in medical diagnostic and treatment technology.
This year, MRT Week is going to look and feel quite a bit different regardless of situation or restrictions, there’s still a lot all of us can do to celebrate and promote the profession – even at a distance.

National MRT Awareness Campaign
This year, we are also using MRT Week as the springboard for a new national awareness campaign. We hope you will join us in supporting the campaign by placing the posters you ordered for MRT prominently at your sites, and by helping to amplify the predominantly online awareness push.
The poster files are available for download (in the order seen above):
Original size: 17″x 24″

Free for everyone (members and non-members).
This MRT Week, Mark Given and Laura Zychla from CAMRT’s Professional Practice Department will be offering an insight into the data they have been gathering since April on impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals and departments across the country. In addition, they will discuss past, present and future CAMRT initiatives to support members and the MRT profession.
