Program Description

MRI technologists are highly educated and possess the advanced skills and knowledge necessary for competent practice. The ability to critically think and communicate is paramount to the success of an MRI technologist. They must have the ability to synthesize information and apply rational judgment in determining appropriate protocols that affect image quality and diagnostic outcome. They must find a balance between equipment capabilities and patient condition to arrive at the physician's highest quality images for interpretation. The MRI environment presents unique patient care and safety issues that require exceptional attention to detail.

This program provides a thorough foundation in MRI procedures, pathophysiology, and physics. When this education is combined with a sound base of clinical practice that meets national programmatic accreditation standards, a superior graduate can meet professional workforce needs results. The MRI program is designed not only to foster the skills and knowledge necessary for competent practice in MRI but also emphasizes professional attitudes, values and behaviours that encourage the professional growth of the individual student, thus assuring graduates of a place on the medical imaging team.

Clinical learning experiences are provided by affiliating hospitals, clinics and other MRI provider facilities. Didactic learning experiences occur in supportive college course work delivered through an online environment. Both are equally important to the development of competent MRI technologist.
