Perhaps you or a family member have had cancer and needed radiation therapy treatment?<\/p>\n<p>If so, you would have encountered a medical radiation practitioner (MRP). MRPs include Radiographers, Radiation Therapists, Nuclear Medicine Technologists and Sonographers.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) is a professional organisation that represents MRPs.<\/p>\n<p>There are over 20,000 MRPs in Australia with ASMIRT members making up more than 9,000 of them. ASMIRT provides ongoing education for MRPs and encourages and supports research. It establishes standards of practice to ensure that all patients are treated safely.<\/p>\n<p>ASMIRT can assist you in your journey to becoming an MRP, as well as throughout your career.<\/p>\n<p>More than a third of Australians require diagnostic medical imaging each year and 1 in 3 cancer patients require radiation therapy. ASMIRT members perform many of these vital procedures, making them the heart of the healthcare system in Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a snapshot:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1895 \u2013 Year that the X-ray was discovered<\/li>\n<li>20,074 MRPs in Australia in 2024<\/li>\n<li>7 million diagnostic imaging services performed in 2022-23<\/li>\n<li>74,000 courses of radiation therapy as a treatment for cancer were given<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27503\" src=\"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ASMIRT-Explore-Careers.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1360\" height=\"708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ASMIRT-Explore-Careers.webp 1360w, https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ASMIRT-Explore-Careers-768x400.webp 768w, https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ASMIRT-Explore-Careers-300x156.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":27496,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ra-employers\/26501"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ra-employers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ra-employers"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
