This is a Special Selection program. Your Readiness Video will be evaluated and assigned a score that reflects your potential for success in the program. Offers of admittance will be made to qualified applicants based on Readiness Video scores in descending order until all available seats are filled. This means not all applicants whose scores fall within acceptable range will be offered a seat.
Applicants not offered a seat may reapply for a future intake by submitting a new application, application fee, and new Program Readiness Video for that application year.
Annual application deadline: March 1

Everyone communicates, but are they doing it well? Communicative competence takes practice and self-awareness. In this foundational course, students will learn through discovery and project-based activities to practice approaching situations critically and collaboratively. By developing their communication skills, students will improve their interpersonal ability, intercultural competence, and digital fluency to prepare for success in the workplace and beyond. The strategies students will gain in this course will be useful throughout their program and in their chosen industry.
Discuss the technical language of medical science. Includes the fundamentals of medical language including word components, definitions, spelling and pronunciation using a systems approach. Basic anatomy and physiology are included to assist in understanding the structure and function of organs and systems in the human body.
This course is an introductory study of the structure and function of the human body. The gross and histological anatomy of each principal organ is examined. The physiology of each organ is also discussed. The principle of homeostasis is used to examine the correlation between structure and function and demonstrate the functional integration of the organ systems with each other. The importance of learning using correct terminology is stressed. Laboratory exercises support and enrich the theoretical content.
A working knowledge of introductory anatomy and physiology is assumed. The gross and histological anatomy of each principal organ system is examined. The physiology of each organ system is also discussed. The principle of homeostasis is used to examine the correlation between structure and function and demonstrate the functional integration of the organ systems with each other. The importance of learning and using correct terminology is stressed. Laboratory exercises support and enrich the theoretical content of the lectures. Students are encouraged to become active participants in the learning process during lectures and as they perform laboratory activities and complete lab assignments.
Along with technical skills, a Radiologic Technologist must possess expert knowledge of anatomy and pathology in order to produce quality radiographs. In this course, students will learn to identify skeletal anatomy on diagrams and x-ray images. In addition, this course will enable students to recognize and discuss corresponding skeletal pathologies utilizing a variety of imaging methods.
In this course, students will be introduced to the theoretical concepts and principles of the equipment used to generate x-ray images. Students will examine the individual components of radiographic equipment and computed and digital radiographic equipment. In addition, hands-on, applied laboratory activities will help students to connect theoretical concepts to Radiologic Technology Practice.
In this course, students will be introduced to the theoretical concepts and principles of x-ray physics. Students will learn about the production of x-rays, image formation and radiation protection. In addition, hands-on, applied laboratory activities allow students to connect theoretical concepts to Radiologic Technology Practice.
In this foundational lab course, students will learn the theoretical principles of X-ray production, scatter, and image formation, while developing hands-on skills for operating X-ray equipment safely and effectively. They will learn how distance impacts dose, foundational concepts in technical factors, how X-ray grids work, when to use them, and how errors can affect image quality. Students will complete essential quality control (QC) tests and explore how settings influence diagnostic images. They also examine the purpose of Automatic Exposure Controls (AEC) and how changing parameters impact AEC performance. Hands-on and practical lab exercises will help students build confidence in producing consistent, high-quality radiographic images.
In this course, students build core patient-care skills needed to provide safe and effective care. They learn how to assess patients through history taking and observation. Students will learn how to recognize signs and symptoms of medical emergencies and how they could appropriately respond to them. Students will also examine how specialized devices, equipment, and teams are considered when providing care. They also identify procedural requirements and contraindications, and how healthcare professionals can respond to them to ensure patient safety and high-quality care.
Along with technical skills, a Radiologic Technologist must possess expert knowledge of anatomy and pathology to produce quality radiographs. In this course, students will learn to identify the anatomy of the skull, facial bones, neck, respiratory and cardiovascular systems on diagrams and x-ray images. In addition, this course will enable students to recognize and discuss corresponding pathologies using a variety of imaging methods.
In this practical application course, students will begin to implement and apply the technical and clinical skills of radiographic technique and patient care for imaging the skeletal system in a laboratory setting.
In this course, students will learn to recognize and identify various anatomical structures in cross-section on sagittal, coronal and transverse imaging planes. Emphasis will be placed on anatomic relationships and physiologic processes.
This course will introduce students to advanced imaging equipment with an emphasis on Computed Tomography (CT). Through lectures, discussions and video demonstrations students will also learn about alternative diagnostic imaging modalities including, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (MRI/S), Ultrasound (U/S), Nuclear Medicine (NM) and hybrid imaging including Positron Emission Tomography and CT (PET/CT), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) and CT Simulation in Radiation Therapy.
A Radiologic Technologist is required to have knowledge of human anatomy and the body’s major systems. In this course, students will focus on the anatomy and pathologies found in the digestive, reproductive, urinary, and nervous systems. Students will expand their knowledge and be able to identify anatomy and pathologies found on diagrams and X-ray images. In addition, this course will enable students to recognize and discuss anatomy and corresponding pathologies utilizing general X-ray equipment and advanced systems such as Fluoroscopy and Computer Tomography (C.T.).
In this course, students will further examine the principles of positioning techniques for radiographic imaging. Students will focus on positioning techniques, radiographic presentation and image critique for anatomical areas including the abdomen, chest, spine and skull. In addition, students will also be introduced to specialized radiographic and therapeutic procedures.
In this course, students will continue to apply concepts of Radiological Technology to clinical practice at a diagnostic imaging department within a RRC affiliated healthcare facility. Students will expand their knowledge and continue to develop general radiography clinical skills while also applying theoretical principles of Computed Tomography (CT) and being introduced to areas of specialized imaging. This course will enhance student knowledge with respect to interpretation of common pathologies. Under appropriate supervision, students will be expected to assume increased responsibility in general imaging, including more independence with performing basic imaging procedures as well as image critique. Students will be expected to assume a greater role in providing for patient needs while enhancing their patient care/assessment skills. Students will be able to assist with and/or participate in complex specialized procedures and will be expected to achieve all competencies as required by national and provincial standards.
In this course, students will continue to apply concepts of Radiological Technology to clinical practice at a diagnostic imaging department within a RRC affiliated healthcare facility. Under appropriate supervision, students will be given the opportunity to take primary responsibility for performing general imaging procedures and utilizing their image critique skills.
