The significant cost of education and healthcare, as
well as the current and ongoing national shortage of
healthcare professionals, warrants a critical
look at the educational training requirements of
healthcare workers in Canada.
This topic includes reviewing the historical
background of training for a variety of healthcare
professionals in Western cultures, the common
philosophy of education trends for these workers, and
the future directions for various
professions, focusing specifically on Medical
Radiation Technologists in Canada.
The literature review includes national statistics
and summaries of health and lifestyle trends, as well
as the trends for the education and training of
healthcare workers.
Reflective, critical assessment of the training and
future trends of healthcare workers reveals that
healthcare has undergone two major changes in focus:
(1) healthcare as a business and (2) the holistic
interdisciplinary trend of patient care.
This paper is an analysis of, and recommendations
for, the training and accreditation of healthcare
workers in Canada.
