Research plays a critical role to advances made in healthcare, and to our own profession by filling knowledge gaps, optimizing care for patients, enhancing the way MRTs work, and ensuring MRTs are seen as leaders in a complex healthcare system. As we strive to shape an association and a profession for the future, we know that evidence, knowledge and research are vital for success.
Over the years, CAMRT has been building research supports to encourage the widespread use of evidence to align patient care with evidence-based practices. Research grants are the natural extension of this strategy — an investment in research done for MRTs, by MRTs, on topics of strategic importance to the growth of the profession.
CAMRT is very excited to announce the launch of its new Research Fellowship Grant!
