Standards of Practice
The Essential Competencies document has been developed as a reference tool to determine whether a Medical Radiation Technologist can perform at an acceptable level. The Essential Competencies reflect the knowledge, skills and judgment Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) need in order to perform the services and procedures that fall within the scope of practice of the profession.
In the Essential Competencies, there are references to the Comprehensive Guidelines. These refer to the Comprehensive Guidelines for acting in accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act Scope of Practice/Controlled Acts Model (the Comprehensive Guidelines). The Essential Competencies and the Comprehensive Guidelines, as amended from time to time, replace the “Standards of Practice for Medical Radiation Technologists” for radiography, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy published by the CMRTO, and together constitute the standards of practice for MRTs.
In the Essential Competencies, there is also reference to the Code of Ethics. This refers to the code of ethics for CMRTO members (the Code of Ethics). It is intended that the Essential Competencies and Comprehensive Guidelines be used in conjunction with the Code of Ethics. Together, these documents provide a model for ensuring safe, effective and ethical professional performance to ensure safe, effective and ethical outcomes for patients.
