Medical Radiologic Technology

Advanced Diploma
Medical Radiologic Technology

Program Overview

Please Note: The Medical Radiologic Technology program is subject to the competitive admission process, and the application period is now closed.

It opens for application on October 1, and closes on February 15, each academic year. On February 15, paper applications are accepted until 4:30 p.m., and online applications are accepted until 11:59 p.m. (Saskatchewan times). All supporting documentation is required by 4:30 p.m. (Saskatchewan time) on March 1.

Those who applied for the diploma program for the September 2023 intake, will be transferred to the advanced diploma program. 

If you’re considering a career in health - one that lets you work one-on-one with people and use state-of-the-art medical equipment - Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Medical Radiologic Technology program might be for you.

Radiological technologists produce images of body parts and systems using X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and breast imaging equipment. You need to be diligent, detail-oriented and committed to high work standards. You also need to be comfortable positioning and touching patients, as well as talking with them.

To apply to this program, see additional information under Admissions.

International applicants are not currently considered for admission to this competitive program.

Medical Radiologic Technology is a nationally accredited two and a half year advanced diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon campus . You’ll get hands-on training in the use of radiographic equipment, learn how to position patients to get the best images and learn to critique images. You’ll also develop knowledge and skills in:

  • anatomy and physiology
  • examination techniques
  • patient care
  • professionalism
  • radiation safety and protection
  • X-ray equipment

Practical, Hands-On Learning

Extensive clinical experience gives you a chance to apply what you learn in class in an actual clinical setting. You will participate in clinical practicum experiences in hospitals and clinics around the province, including placements in different settings to gain specific skills and technical competence. 

Diploma to Degree

Leverage your advanced diploma into the Bachelor of Applied Management degree at Saskatchewan Polytechnic with only two years of additional study. Remote classes and part-time options are available.

You can use your Medical Radiologic Technology advanced diploma to ladder into a degree program at the University of Regina or Athabasca University in Alberta. A degree is usually required if you are interested in moving into management or teaching positions.

Nationally Accredited

After graduation, you’ll write the national Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) certification exam. CAMRT certification allows you to work anywhere in Canada and to become a member of the Saskatchewan Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (SAMRT), which is a requirement to work in Saskatchewan.

Serve in the Canadian Forces

Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Medical Radiologic Technology program is recognized by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), which means you can qualify for full-time subsidized education through their non-commissioned member subsidized training and education plan (NCMSTEP).

Learning Environment

Each year, 20 students are accepted to this program. Students will experience a mix of traditional lectures, web-assisted learning, practical and simulation labs. 

For this program, there is a heavy workload with 20 - 30 hours/week of homework. Classes are Monday - Friday with variable hours between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Clinical practicum hours will coincide with health care hours, and may include early morning start times (5 or 6 a.m.), evening, night or weekend shifts.

Lectures and Practical labs: Saskatoon

Clinical Practicum Experiences

Clinical practicum placement may occur at any approved site in Saskatchewan. 

Note: All sites require a rotation at a secondary site to meet program requirements. 

  • 40 week clinical, which includes:
    • 24 weeks in second year and 16 weeks in third year at approved sites within Saskatchewan.
    • Alternate sites will be required to meet program requirements.

Clinical practicum experiences are assigned by the Medical Diagnostics Committee on Practicum Placements (COPP). Students will have an opportunity to rank their preferred location; however, there is no guarantee that students will receive their preferred clinical site assignment.

Students are responsible for travel, accommodation arrangements and costs to, during and from their clinical experience. Students will continue with their didactic studies through online learning while on their clinical experience, and stable internet access is required.

Enrolment in the program will require acceptance of a clinical placement anywhere within Saskatchewan. Clinical placements are determined during the program closer to the dates for practicum experiences.
