Assessment and Application Process
Internationally Educated Medical Radiation Technologists (IEMRT’s) are individuals who have completed an education program in medical imaging to its full extent outside of Canada. As an IEMRT, before being eligible to practice in Canada, education as well as skills learnt outside of the country need to be assessed to ensure they meet the national requirements of entry to practice competencies.
Those who wish to work as medical radiation technologists within the province of New Brunswick, must be registered with the New Brunswick Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (NBAMRT) in order to obtain a certificate of registration (license) to practice.
Step 1 - CAMRT International Assessment
IEMRT’s new to Canada who wish to practice in New Brunswick must first apply to undergo the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) national standard assessment of credentials.
The CAMRT will assess the IEMRTs language proficiency, substantial similarity of qualifications, and work experience. Once established, the IEMRT will be notified of their eligibility to write the National Certification Exam. The CAMRT Application of Assessment Form for IEMRT’s along with the fee, and other documentation required to undergo an assessment can be found here.
NOTE:
Type Two- This Temporary membership may be available to Internationally Educated MRT’s who have met all CAMRT requirements and who are eligible to write the National Certification Exam. A Type Two temporary membership will be issued for a duration of 6 weeks and may commence the day after the IEMRT writes the National Certification Exam.
As Temporary Practice registration is for a very short period as well as to prevent potential delays in optimizing the time of eligibility to practice, it is recommended that applications for registration and supporting documentation be submitted at least one (1) week prior to the day of the certification exam sitting.
Once confirmation of successful exam results has been received, a new Certificate of Registration demonstrating the status change to Full Practice which will remain valid until the end of the calendar year will be issued and will supersede the previously issued Temporary Practice Certificate of Registration .
NOTE:
Full Practice Certificates of Registration are to be renewed annually. Registrants are able to renew their
registration for the next calendar year (Jan to Dec) from October 1st to November 15th.
Further information regarding Application Status Types can be found under Registration
NOTE:
It is at the discretion of the NBAMRT whether to process a registration, or to postpone a decision for any unresolved circumstances found in an application.
