Requirements to be Completed Before Attending Classes
For students accepted into the MRT program, please review Field Placement Requirements to ensure you will be compliant. The Field Placement Requirements are mandatory. If you do not complete the requirements you cannot complete placement and will not graduate.
Field Placement Requirements
Clinical Placement Site Selection:
Every effort is made to accommodate a student's preferred clinical placement location. If there are more students choosing a placement location than there are spots available at the site, the student with the higher program application score will be given the spot. Approximately half the students will complete their clinical placement at a hospital outside of Thunder Bay. All placement locations may include day, evening, and weekend shifts. Clinical placement consists of 3 consecutive semesters (45 weeks total).
Students are responsible for all costs associated with placements ( such as; uniforms, parking fees, transportation, accommodations etc.)
Students are responsible for finding and making all of their arrangements for transportation, accommodation, etc.
Mandatory requirements for Clinical Placement to be completed in Semester 3:
Standard First Aid certification (valid for three years)
CPR certification at Level C or Basic Life Saver (BLS) level (annual renewal)
Recent Criminal Reference Check (Vulnerable Persons Sector). Download & Print Request Letter (PDF file) … To be eligible for participation in a clinical placement, a student must not have been convicted of any criminal offense for which the student has not yet been pardoned. Placement agencies may not accept students with an unpardoned criminal record and will result in the student not being able to participate in the clinical placement courses and therefore prevent the student from graduating. A recent and valid criminal reference check (CRC) is therefore required to enable the student to progress through this program.
N95 Mask Fit Test. Gentlemen must be clean shaven.
WHMIS certification
Alternative Pathways
If you do not possess the necessary admission requirements (or equivalency), we encourage you to consider our Pre-Health Sciences programs which will provide you with the necessary preparation to apply to this program. Completion of the Pre-Health Sciences-programs does not guarantee admission to the Medical Radiation Technology Program in a subsequent year. A minimum 75% mark must be maintained in each semester in the Pre-Health Sciences-programs to meet the admission requirements to the MRT program.
