MRT Week 2022 will take place from November 6-12
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.

MRT Week Webinars
WEBINAR ONE: Nov 7th at 12:00 PM or Nov 10th at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Addressing the State of Mental Health in the Health Workforce: To kick off this week, let’s take a moment to think about your own well-being! Dr Kim McMillan will take us through emerging research on the state of mental health in the Canadian health workforce. Join us live (noon eastern-time) Nov 7th at 12pm or during our rebroadcast Nov 10th at 2pm (during lunchtime mountain-time, as a special welcome to our Albertan MRTs who voted to have CAMRT provide their provincial member services earlier this year!).
Session One Nov 7th – 12PM Session Two Nov 10th – 2PM
WEBINAR TWO: Nov 9, 2022 6:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Leader as Advocate: Experienced leaders in the MRT community will discuss their varied perspectives on advocacy, including championing personal growth, professional change, and patient well-being. The aim of this webinar is to share stories about how advocacy can take many shapes and to outline how the activism of a small group can make a big difference. Join us to learn more on this empowering topic! This will also be a part of our upcoming Leadership Foundations micro-certificate, so taking it will give you a head-start!
