Medical Radiation Sciences

Working in a dynamic environment with emerging technologies, MRTs (Medical Radiation Technologists) are regulated health professionals who use sophisticated radiation equipment to produce diagnostic images of a patient’s body or who administer radiation to treat patients for certain medical conditions. As a primary point of contact for patients on their healthcare journey, MRTs are committed to a collaborative patient- and family-centred approach to care.
The Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) program is a professional undergraduate program that includes three distinct streams: 

• Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Technology
• Radiation Therapy
• Radiological Technology

All three streams consist of eight consecutive semesters (three academic years), include approximately 42 weeks of clinical experience and are offered jointly by the University of Toronto Department of Radiation Oncology (Temerty Faculty of Medicine) and The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. Graduates are eligible to write the national certification examinations conducted by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). Certification qualifies graduates to work across Canada and allows them to apply for registration with the College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario (CMRITO).

The MRS program is designed for students with at least one year of university experience including courses in Biology, Math, Physics and Social Science. In addition to satisfying academic requirements, academically competitive applicants must participate in an admissions interview and submit proof of English proficiency (if applicable).
