The benefits of becoming an OAMRS member
|
There's never been a better time to be an OAMRS member. Healthcare in this province is about to change - for the better - and MRTs and DMSs have an opportunity to be at the forefront of that change. The pandemic taught us how important it is to support one another and rally behind our profession. And now, it's our time to share the important role that we play every day in the healthcare system and the lives of Ontario patients. |
Access to industry-leading professional liability insurance (PLI)
PLI is mandatory to practise in Ontario, and the insurance offered through OAMRS is renowned as one of the most comprehensive coverages in the industry. Many professionals believe that they are insured through their employer or union, but this is not always the case, or not as comprehensive as you might require. Not all PLI is the same. OAMRS offers the best insurance in the business that protects you and your personal assets (house, car, savings, wages, etc.) against any claims…even if the claims are not true. Even supervisors, educators and corporate sales professionals in the profession of medical radiation sciences need PLI. Learn more about who needs PLI. MRT PLI - Learn more |
