The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) program includes 1,380 hours of clinical education/practicum distributed throughout the program.
Red River College Polytechnic will assist students in obtaining the clinical placement(s) required to complete the clinical education component of the program. Students will have the opportunity to indicate preferred clinical placement sites, and efforts will be made to consider these preferences where possible. However, the availability of clinical placement sites and the number of students in the cohort will determine placement assignments, and students may not receive their preferred site(s). All clinical placement assignments are made at the discretion of the program.
Due to the limited number of clinical placement sites, students may be required to relocate within Manitoba or to another province. Requests for out of province clinical placement sites may be considered; however, they cannot be guaranteed.
In addition to a primary clinical placement site, shorter rotations to complementary clinical sites or to another primary clinical site may be required to ensure students are able to achieve all required practical competencies. Complementary sites are not intended to be a student’s primary placement but may provide exposure to specialized examinations, procedures, or patient populations not available at their primary site. Examples of complementary sites may include the Pan Am Clinic and Children’s Hospital, or another primary site where required competencies are available.
Students are responsible for all costs associated with clinical education/practicum, including travel, accommodation, meals, and any relocation expenses related to attending assigned clinical placement site(s).
The College reserves the right to make changes to clinical placement assignments when deemed necessary.
