The Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging (B.Sc. MI) is designed to prepare graduates for licensing as entry-level Medical Imaging Technologists in Qatar. The program is based on the standards of the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) and EQual Accreditation Canada. An integration of theory with extensive application in laboratory, simulation, and clinical placements prepares graduates with the knowledge and skill to operate a variety of diagnostic medical imaging equipment and to produce, analyze, and evaluate medical images and related clinical data effectively. Graduates operate in multidisciplinary teams, prepared for employment in hospitals, community health settings, educational institutions, clinics, and private practice. Graduates who complete the B.Sc. MI are eligible to write the CAMRT and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification Exams.
