How to Apply

To legally practice medical imaging or radiation therapy in Nova Scotia, one must be registered with the NSCMIRTP. Registering with the regulatory body demonstrates that the individual respects the public’s right to safe, competent and ethical care, and recognizes the NSCMIRTP's role in supporting and monitoring professional practice.

All registrants of the NSCMIRTP have their name, registration number, registration status and expiry date made available to the public through the public register section of the NSCMIRTP website. All registered MIRTPs must renew their registration on an annual basis and ensure that all their information is kept up to date in their personal profile.

All MIRTPs are required to successfully complete an approved program in medical imaging or radiation therapy, successfully challenge an approved national entry to practice examination, and meet all other requirements as defined by the regulations prior to receiving a license to practice as an MIRTP in Nova Scotia.
