Task force on RT examinations. Summary of the feedback.

There was a large volume of feedback and comment on the discussion paper on the future format of RT examinations. Published in the Canadian Journal of Medical Technology, volume 52, #4, 1990. A total of 63 individual submissions was received, of which 12 addressed cytotechnology only and three addressed RT subject examinations. Because many of the responses came from groups, such as faculty liaison committees or instructor groups, some 300 didactic and clinical teaching personnel were involved in the feedback. Submissions were received from 21 of the 31 RT general programs and from six of the nine cytotechnology programs. The responses can therefore be taken as representing a good cross-section of opinion among training program personnel. The feedback was studied recommendation by recommendation, to determine the levels of agreement and disagreement and to summarize the questions, comments and concerns.
