Following review of the APRT report, a plan was proposed for moving forward with examining advanced practice in radiotherapy. In March 2007, the “Clinical Specialist Radiation Therapist (CSRT) Demonstration Project” received funding from the MOHLTC for the implementation of 5 demonstration CSRT roles, which would build further on the work of the APRT Developmental Project completed in 2006. CSRTs are Radiation Therapists, registered with the College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario (CMRTO) in the specialty of radiation therapy. They have obtained additional knowledge, skills and judgement that allows them to perform their full scope of practice, including specific activities that are managed through either medical directives or delegation.
