NSCMIRTP: Karren Fader appointed as the Executive Director / Registrar

Dear NSCMIRTP Community

The Nova Scotia College of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals (NSCMIRTP) is proud to announce the appointment of Karren Fader, MHI, BHSc, MRT(NM), CRPA(R), as the Executive Director/Registrar. Karren brings a wealth of leadership experience and an extensive background in health regulation, governance, and medical imaging, making her an ideal fit for this critical role.

Karren has been serving as the Interim Registrar for the past six months, where she has been instrumental in leading the College through significant change and stabilizing operations, while strengthening its regulatory foundation. With over 20 years of leadership experience in regulatory, academic, and healthcare settings, Karren has proven to be an innovative leader with a strong commitment to public safety, governance, and professional development.

Karren’s distinguished career includes her leadership as the former President of the Nova Scotia Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (NSAMRT), where she played a key role in shaping health regulation in Nova Scotia. She was deeply involved in the creation and passage of the Nova Scotia Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Professionals Act (Bill 70) and additionally has contributed to the drafting of key provincial bylaws outside of health and health profession bylaws nationally. Karren was also a faculty member and team lead at Dalhousie University’s School of Health Sciences for nearly 20 years, where she has contributed significantly to the education and professional development of future medical radiation technologists.

As Executive Director / Registrar, Karren will lead the College in its mission to protect the public, uphold standards of practice and support the professional growth of its members. The NSCMIRTP Board of Directors and I firmly believe that Karren’s vast experience, her dedication to fostering collaboration and embracing change will be key in fulfilling the mission of the college. The Board and I look forward to working with Karren.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the work of the Board and the hiring committee in going through the search process to ensure the NSCMIRTP identified the best candidate for the ED/Registrar role and thank KBRS for assisting with our search. If anyone has any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to me at kzhan@nscmirtp.ca

Sincerely,

Kenny Zhan

Chair, NSCMIRTP
