Each year NSCMIRTP sends one current volunteer to CAMRT's Leadership Development Institute in Ottawa. The 2026 session runs from November 6-8. All expenses are covered by NSCMIRTP. To express an interest please submit an application by August 1, 2026 to info@nscmirtp.ca. The application form can be found here.

To apply through the NSCMIRTP you must be a current volunteer with the Regulator and be willing to commit to volunteering for a two year period. This is open to all volunteers of the NSCMIRTP including MRTs, sonographers and public volunteers.

Please note MRTs also have the ability to apply for this opportunity through the CAMRT website. When applying through CAMRT the criteria for eligibility is different than for those applying through the NSCMIRTP.
