College Certificate - Pre-Health Sciences - Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees (PHS2) & Advanced College Diploma - Medical Radiation Technology (MRT1)

Pre-Health Sciences - Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees (PHS2): The Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees program provides students with the opportunity to study subject areas relevant to health career programs at Fanshawe College and to instill an appreciation of the professional roles, responsibilities and academic requirements of health care disciplines.

The goal of the program is to prepare students for their chosen health career program. Students will be prepared to enter other programs within the School of Health Sciences or pursue their education at other institutions

Advanced College Diploma - Medical Radiation Technology (MRT1): The Medical Radiation Technology program is offered over three academic years (7 levels). Fanshawe College provides theoretical knowledge along with an extensive simulation component of the program while a number of participating hospitals across Southwestern Ontario offer practical instruction and clinical experience.

The Radiological Technologist uses x-ray radiation to create images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels that make up the human body. Through a combination of classroom lectures, laboratory simulation, and clinical education, students learn to operate sophisticated x-ray equipment, and advanced computer systems to produce diagnostic images of human anatomy, position patients for x-ray procedures, practice radiation safety and deliver quality patient care.

The Medical Radiation Technology program provides learning experiences that enable the student to acquire and assimilate the necessary technical competencies to function effectively as a supportive health care provider in the MRT profession.
