Program Description:

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Radiography (B.Sc. MR) is a four-year degree that prepares graduates for licensing as entry- level Medical Technologist in Qatar. The B.Sc. MR is founded on the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) and EQual Accreditation Canada standards. An integration of theory with extensive application in laboratory, simulation, and practice experiences prepares graduates with the knowledge and skill to use of a variety of diagnostic imaging equipment to produce and evaluate clinical images and data. Graduates operate in multidisciplinary teams, prepared for employment in hospitals, community health settings, educational institutions, clinics, home care, and private practice. Graduates who complete the B.Sc. MR are eligible to write the CAMRT Certification Exam.
