Medical Radiography Technology Diploma (MRAD) Program Proposal for Course Number and Name Changes Requested Implementation date: September 2016. Rationale: The CNC MRAD program received approval from Education Council October 13 2015 to restructure the Program Outline and incorporate the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) national competency profile revisions. The approved program restructuring changes maintain provincial curriculum alignment with the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Evolving International MRAD program qualification changes are gradually disseminating to North America. To maintain program sustainability and future national program requirements, collaboration with BCIT to maintain provincial curriculum alignment is essential. Currently the MRAD Physics and MRAD Relational A & P courses are PHYS and BIO courses in the BCIT MRAD program. To help maintain course credit transferability provincially the CNC MRAD program is requesting the following course name and course number changes. Proposal: MRAD Physics 1 change to PHYS 115 Physics Medical Radiography 1 MRAD Physics 2 change to PHYS 225 Physics Medical Radiography 2 MRAD 115 Relational A & P change to BIO 126 Relational A&P Medical Radiography 1 MRAD 246 Relational A & P 3 change to BIO 226 Relational A&P Medical Radiography 3. October 13 2015 Education Council accepted the MRAD Program restructuring proposal and the Physics & Relational A & P proposed course name change requests.
