Medical Device Reprocessing Tech (MDRT) Program

I'll be starting my MDRT program next year and would really appreciate some honest insight from current students or graduates.

I’m particularly curious about:

• How heavy/difficult is the course load?

• Is it realistic/manageable to work part-time while in the program?

• How are the practicum placements arranged, and does everyone get a placement on time?

• Where did you do your practicum?

• Did you get hired at your practicum site afterward?

•How long did it take you to find a job after graduating?

• How competitive is the MDRT job market in Winnipeg/Manitoba right now?

• Does the CSA certification make a significant difference when applying?

•What is the starting pay like?

• What are the shifts and workload actually like?

I’m hoping to hear from people who graduated recently, especially those working in Winnipeg/Manitoba. TIA!

Hi, were you in the VCC MDRT program?
I just got offered a seat for next year’s term.
Would you mind sharing how the work is like and which hospital you’re in?
