Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1st Discipline

CPR (Basic Life Support - BLS): Students must provide evidence of current BLS certification prior to commencing clinical training. BLS certification must remain current throughout clinical training therefore it is recommended that certification be obtained just prior to clinical training. The BLS certification course that meets this requirement must be designed for individuals who will be health care providers. The NAIT Continuing Education Course that meets this requirement is CPRS100 - Basic Life Support | NAIT.

Immunization Requirements: Students are required to be immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases, as determined by the Alberta Health. After acceptance into the program, students will be given further information on requirements. If you do not meet the immunization requirements, your work integrated learning experience (clinical training) may be refused by a clinical site, and there may be restrictions to campus lab and clinic experience, which may ultimately impede your progress in the program.

Police Information Check: Students are required to provide a current Police Information Check (also referred to as a Security Clearance or Criminal Record Check) which must include a Vulnerable Sector Search. Please do not proceed with the Police Information Check until an offer of acceptance and follow-up instructions have been issued by the program. The Police Information Check is only considered valid when reviewed by a NAIT official within 90 days of completion. If you do not meet the police information check requirements, your work integrated learning experience (clinical training) may be refused by a clinical site, which may ultimately impede your progress in the program.

Any prospective students with back, arm, shoulder, wrist or neck problems or significant health challenges should consider their options carefully before applying and are advised to consult with the program.

N95 Testing: It is a program requirement to fit test students to an N95 respirator prior to your clinical placement to ensure proper PPE safety. For an effective N95 respirator seal, you must be clean shaven during your fit testing session and clinical rotation. You will be required to be fit tested every two years or sooner depending on the policies of your work site. If there is a change in facial features due to weight gain/loss, pregnancy, dental work, etc. you will also need to be refitted to ensure an effective respirator seal.

The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience is comprised of three consecutive 15-week clinical courses. Students will rotate through various clinical environments in their assigned city or province, from hospitals to outpatient clinics, to provide learners with a robust practical training experience. Students can expect to work an average of 8 hours per day, five days per week, and will be scheduled for a variety of daytime, evening, and weekend shifts. Students will spend most of their clinical training year in one city but may be required to rotate to another location for shorter rotations to experience different training environments and exposure to unique patient exams. Clinical placement sites are located throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. However, Saskatchewan residents will be prioritized for WIL placements in Saskatchewan. All costs associated with relocation for WIL placements are the student's responsibility.
