Study Notes

Lecture 1: Welcome and Program Overview

  • The Diagnostic Imaging (DI) program provides hands-on experience with imaging technologies (X-ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound) in hospitals.
  • Clinical placements are assessed based on applying theoretical knowledge in practical situations, patient care, and equipment operation.
  • Competency assessments focus on image quality, safety, and patient care.
  • OTIMROEPMQ certification is required for all Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs) in Quebec. This certification is awarded after successful completion of competency exams (written, practical, and oral).
  • The Canada Health Act's principles of accessibility and comprehensiveness impact the delivery of medical imaging services in Canada.

Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Program Overview

  • Purpose: Provide foundational knowledge and training for Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs).
  • Learning Outcomes: Understanding the organization and structure of the college and program, along with the healthcare and DI field relationship.

Program Requirements and Policies

  • Student Responsibilities: Ensure immunization records are up-to-date, maintain membership with OTIMROEPMQ and submit schedules and finalize online registration.

  • Core Program Elements: Training and assessment combined with lectures, lab work, clinical placements, and competency-based evaluations.

  • Key Policies: Academic standing, professional conduct, and radiation safety. Comprehensive (written, practical, and oral) exams are mandatory for graduation. Failure in two courses leads to expulsion; failure in one course results in a phase.

Certification Requirements

  • OTIMROEPMQ and CAMRT exams are required for professional practice.
  • French proficiency exam (applicable) for Quebec practice.
