Annual Competitive Awards
The CAMRT invites submissions on any radiological technology, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, or nuclear medicine subject matter related to topic areas/categories listed in the chart below.
The deadline for submission is February 15th, 2025.
Submissions are open to practicing medical radiation technologists and students studying in accredited programs. The competition for practicing technologists is separate from students with each having their own competition, however the categories and topics remain the same.
Eligibility
MRT Submissions: Authors/Presenters must be current CAMRT members. Where there is a joint submission, only the lead author is required to be a medical radiation technologist and a CAMRT member.
