About MAMRT

Created by Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) for MRTs, the Manitoba Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (MAMRT) was incorporated in 1956, but had its beginnings in Manitoba long before - in 1929 -  when William (Bill) Doern (1902-2003) and Claude James Bodle (1886-1980) formed the very first association in Canada for those engaged in the then infant science of radiological technique.

The MAMRT is the professional voice of MRTs, a profession that now encompasses four distinct disciplines: Radiological (X-Ray) Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, MRI Technology and Radiation Therapy.

In 2022, the MAMRT made the proactive decision to dissolve our association after 94 years of existence. Beginning January 1, 2023, CAMRT-MB, an arm of the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists. will replace the MAMRT. CAMRT-MB, will offer a suite of programs, services, and provincial advocacy for MRTs in Manitoba.

This move is intended to support the MRTs as we move to become a self-regulated profession in Manitoba. Our goal is to establish a college, along with our Sonography colleagues, with a singular focus on providing safe and effective care to, and advocating for, the people of Manitoba.
