Welcome to CAMRT-MB
Your Home for Provincial Association Services in Manitoba.
CAMRT-MB is the home for provincial association services for MRTs in Manitoba. CAMRT-MB provides an array of services to its members, including communicating with Provincial governments, providing local education events and expanding our volunteer network through the Site Ambassador program. In addition the Provincial Manager visits sites across the province to provide updates and meet with members.
Formation
With a shifting focus to self-regulation of MRTs and increasing difficulties recruiting volunteers, leadership from the Manitoba Association of Medical Radiation Technologists approached CAMRT to inquire if a model like CAMRT-BC would work in Manitoba. After much discussion, a CAMRT-MB model was created and presented to the Manitoba MRT membership through Town Hall Meetings. Between September 14-21, 2022, MRTs in Manitoba voted on whether to implement a new model for provincial association services, CAMRT-MB. The results were a resounding YES in favor of the implementation of this new model.
