Competency-based certification project. Phase I: Job analysis.
The Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (C.A.M.R.T.) is transforming its existing certification process into a competency-based process, consistent with the knowledge and skills required by entry-level radiography, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine technology practitioners. The project concurs with the change in focus advocated by the Conjoint Committee on Allied Medical Education Accreditation. The Committee supports new accreditation requirements that, among other things, place more emphasis on competency-based learning outcomes. Following is the first of three papers prepared by the C.A.M.R.T. to explain the project and the strategy for its implementation, focusing respectively on each phase. This paper discusses Phase One: the job analysis.
