Students learn in a variety of settings from busy trauma centers to outpatient clinics. In the MRI program, courses are delivered through a mixture of face-to-face classes, off-site lab sessions, clinical practicum training and online study. After graduation, you'll be able to register with the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists.
