Magnetic Resonance Imaging (1st Discipline) - 767
Overview
Program Highlights
- Mohawk’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Ontario College Diploma program is offered full-time online with intensive skills-based training at Institute for Applied Health Sciences (a Mohawk College campus located on the McMaster property). Intakes are in September.
What you'll learn
- Mohawk’s MRI program features integrated MRI simulations that immerse students in the software platforms prior to live applications in clinical placement.
- Course content is strategically designed to support the online learner, and follows universal design for learning (UDL) principles to provide options to support all students. For example, 360 anatomy web-based interactive course content and Nearpods to enhance skill development.
Functional demands
The functional demands required for a professional practice in Magnetic Resonance Imaging should be fully appreciated and working as a technologist in this demanding environment requires consideration for the following skills:
- Manual dexterity
- Physical strength for both patient and equipment movement
- Fine motor control
- Both critical thinking and strong written/verbal communication skills
Program length and delivery
- The MRI program content is delivered in an online blended format with both synchronous and asynchronous deliveries.
