Work Integrated Learning

The Medical Radiation Technology program at Algonquin College provides you with clinical experience from the onset of the program through weekly labs to the end of the program with clinical placements. This enables you to apply your analytical thinking directly to medical imaging throughout the duration of the program. Furthermore, small class sizes give you more time for hands-on experience and mentorship from faculty. Three clinical practicums totaling more than 1,500 hours in clinical setting either within Ottawa or requiring relocation to another clinical setting across Ontario.
