National Experiential Bridging Program for
Internationally Educated Medical Radiation Technologists
Bridging global expertise to Canadian MRT practice.
Overview of the National Experiential Bridging Program (NEBP)
The NEBP offers Internationally Educated Medical Radiation Technologists (IEMRTs) the tools, resources, and experiential learning needed to navigate certification and transition into Canadian practice.
Through peer mentorship, job shadowing opportunities, and focused education, the NEBP provides meaningful support at every stage of the journey.

The NEBP is designed for IEMRTs living in Canada who are eligible to write, or have already passed, the CAMRT certification exam.
Supporting the MRT Pathway
The program is structured around three core pillars that support the transition into practice in Canada.
Peer Mentorship
Connects IEMRTs with experienced MRTs in Canada for guidance, support, and insight into workplace culture and professional practice.
Online Learning Micro-Certificate
Provides an online micro-certificate designed to build knowledge in key areas of Canadian MRT practice.
On-Site Observational Job Shadowing
Offers real-world exposure through structured observational experiences in clinical settings across Canada.
The Need
Canada’s healthcare system is facing a growing shortage of Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs) across multiple disciplines. This shortage is creating significant challenges in delivering timely and effective care nationwide.
At the same time, IEMRTs bring valuable skills and experience but often face barriers when transitioning into Canadian practice, including credential recognition challenges, limited access to relevant experience, and unfamiliarity with the healthcare system.
How the NEBP Began
Recognizing both the workforce need and the untapped potential of internationally educated professionals, the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists identified an opportunity to strengthen pathways into the Canadian MRT workforce.
Through funding from Employment and Social Development Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program, CAMRT launched the National Experiential Bridging Program (NEBP), a national initiative designed to support IEMRTs as they transition into the Canadian MRT workforce.
