Continuing Education Credit Approval Program for sponsors of CPD activities

When an application for Category A credits comes from a sponsor (you), it is reviewed against ARRT requirements. We have shared mandatory policies, processes, and standards that CAMRT maintains during the credit approval process, to retain consistency with American partner organizations and to assist those MRTs who work in the USA and Canada. While much of the review is completed in the CAMRT office, a subject matter expert(s) reviews the content of the event.

For an educational activity to be approved, it must be a planned continuing professional development activity related to medical radiation technology. It must enhance the professional knowledge, skill, and judgment of the MRT in providing services to patients, peers, the public, and other healthcare professionals. The subject matter must be well covered and be related to current or future practice.

After any questions are answered and the review fee is paid, an approval letter including a credit reference code is issued, which includes mandatory requirements for the sponsor (you) surrounding attendance tracking, letters of completion, and accreditation code expiration date.

Please reach out to cecap@camrt.ca with questions or if you require non-Category A credits.

The CECAP handbook contains the full details on the process, cost, impact, requirements, and guidelines of the accreditation program. Please familiarize yourself with it, your sponsor requirements are outlined there in full. The application must be submitted between 10 business days (live events) and 45 business days (self-learning) in advance of the event, at a minimum. Costs are outlined in the Handbook and directly support CPD through the national association.
