I've stood where you're standing.

Twenty years ago I left Canada and built a career I never expected. Now I help internationally educated radiographers make the journey in the other direction.

I'm Stephanie Smith, a Canadian-certified radiographer (R.T.(R)) and CAMRT member. I trained and built my early career in Canadian hospitals, then spent the last eighteen years teaching medical radiography to internationally educated radiographers abroad, on a curriculum built around the CAMRT Competency Profile. Preparing people for this exam isn't a sideline for me. It's my day job.

After every exam sitting, I debrief with my students, and that's where I learned what really decides this exam. It's rarely the physics or the positioning; my students know their radiography. It's the patient-care scenarios that need Canadian-style critical thinking, and the English and cultural nuance no textbook warns you about. One student froze on a question about an "avalanche", not because she didn't know the imaging, but because she'd never needed the word. That's the gap I coach. And because I'm trained to teach English as a second language, not just radiography, I can help you close it, not just name it.

I teach patient-centred radiography, where the person on the table matters more than the protocol. That's the lens I'll bring to your sessions.

From the practice bank

An MRT has genuine, experience-based concerns that a requested chest projection isn't in the patient's best interest. According to CAMRT best practice, what should the MRT do first?

A Document the concern, then proceed
B Carry out the order exactly as written
C Decline to implement the procedure for now
D Alter the projection on their own judgment

Credentials, in plain terms

The paperwork behind the promise

Canadian-certified, Canadian-trained

R.T.(R), CBI: certified through the Canadian system, trained at Fanshawe College, with clinical years in Calgary and Whitehorse hospitals. A CAMRT member.

27 years in clinical practice and education

Twenty-seven years in radiography, twenty in leadership roles, eighteen teaching. Radiation Protection Officer. Teacher of the Year 2021, School of Health Sciences.

Formally qualified to teach

A Provincial Instructor Diploma in adult education, a qualification in teaching English as a second language, and a B.Tech in Health Sciences (Memorial University). Knowing a subject and teaching it are different skills, especially across a language barrier. I trained for all of them.

Hundreds of students guided

My instructional content has consistently led to outstanding student performance on CAMRT and ARRT certification exams. Their results, earned by their work. Never a guarantee, always the goal.
