She has also received a FAETC: Further Adult and Education Teacher’s Certificate from the College of North-East London\, UK (1991)\, and a Diploma in Radiologic Technology American University of Beirut-Medical Centre Radiologic Technology Training Program\, Lebanon. In 1994\, she has pursued further education and training in radiation safety sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the International Center of Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste Italy. She has over 30 years of radiography teaching experience at different Universities in Canada and abroad. She is certified with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). In 2017 she founded VCA Education Solutions for Health Professionals\, Inc.\n\nJennifer 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 five 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 recently returned to Canada with her young family after a 20-year absence\, Jenny completed the requirements of CAMRT to transfer her UK qualifications to work as a Canadian MRT in radiography and MRI\, and she is now a member in good standing with CMRITO. \n\n\n\n\n		\n\n		\n			 \n		\n				\n			\n		\n			\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
