How to Apply

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

All registrants of the NSRMIRT have their names, registration numbers, registration statuses, and expiry dates made available to the public through the public register section of the NSRMIRT website. All registered MIRTPs must renew their registration annually and ensure that all their information is kept up to date in their personal profiles.

Registration with the NSRMIRT assures the public that the medical imaging or radiation therapy professional (MIRTP) working in Nova Scotia has met the entry to practice requirements as defined by the MIRTP Act and Regulations. 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 before receiving a license to practice as an MIRTP in Nova Scotia.
