Jennifer Oliver, BSc. (Hons), MRT(R ): Jennifer Oliver is working with VCA to help educate and assist with the continued professional development of her fellow Medical Radiation Technologists (MRTs). Jenny (as she prefers to be called) chose to become a healthcare professional to repay the caring support and competent treatment she received after being diagnosed with Type I Diabetes at age seven. She is a trained and certified MRT with an Honours Bachelor of Science Degree from St George’s University of London, England; part of Kingston University, UK. Jenny has over eight years of hospital and private clinic Radiography Department experience, including Accident & Emergency. She quickly achieved promotion to Band 6 (Senior UK) Radiographer and was then put in charge of paediatric imaging for all imaging modalities, but with specific focus in Non-Accidental Trauma. Her most recent employer was the prestigious Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, England. While in this senior position, Jenny was trained in Computed Tomography (CT), interventional procedures, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and holds a certificate in Intravenous (IV) Cannulation, allowing her to administer contrast media along with other drugs used to facilitate scans. Having returned to Canada after a 20-year absence, Jenny completed the requirements of CAMRT to transfer her UK qualifications to work as a Canadian MRT. She is now a member in good standing with CMRITO working at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre.
