This QSS, launched in 2024, was authored by Heather Gaunt, who holds a Master of Science in Organizational & Business Psychology from University of Liverpool, worked as clinical faculty for University of Alberta, and is currently a practicing radiation therapist. This module acknowledges that Canadian MRTs serve diverse patients with complex procedures in overextended conditions and the strain on individuals, teams, and organizations can erode patient care and the motivation and satisfaction of healthcare providers. This course examines evidence from psychology, social science, and health literature to explain how our workplace relationships influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. It will explore practical self-management strategies which allow MRTs to protect their energy and insulate themselves from the very real pressures of the workplace environment. This course is accredited for 1.50 Category A/CAMRT credits. By the end of this course you will have new awareness and practical tools to understand, refine, and optimize your energy at work through mindful bonds and firm boundaries. 

Upon completion of this self-study course, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate the types of relationships which medical radiation technologists commonly have in the workplace 
- Describe the influence these relationships have on worker and patient outcomes
- Define relational boundaries
- Identify common relational boundaries required within MRT practice
- Examine the relationship between relationship boundaries and compassion
- Evaluate scripts for communicating boundaries and resolving conflicts
- Manage the scope and depth of feelings that can emerge from interpersonal connections

Join us for this revised Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Cancer Care (CAM) course, which provides you an evidence-informed entry into complex conversations with patients, families, caregivers and interprofessional healthcare teams. Increasing public awareness, internet access to potentially dubious or misunderstood sources and social media about general wellness has been accompanied by a great increase in the use of unconventional therapies. This online course is designed to provide you with general reliable information about CAM and to provide links to current research in this field. Topics include a review of different types of CAM, Canadian regulations for CAM usage, potential supportive uses and contraindications with standard cancer therapies, and the concept of "integrative cancer care". Upon completion of this course, the learner will more confidently be able to objectively discuss CAM with patients, and responsibly communicate with interested patients about more reliable CAM resources.
