Who chooses to become an RMT?

You’re a high-achiever, self-motivated, with a strong internal work ethic. You want to make a meaningful contribution to the healthcare system but not necessarily in a hospital setting. You’d like to have the option to run your own business, set your own hours and engage at a deeper level with your patients.

You’re a people person. You’re tactile. You’re fascinated by the human body and its intricate inner workings.

You’re attracted to a challenge. Especially one that brings you into alignment with your dual interests: science and health care.

You may have university level sciences – like anatomy and physiology – under your belt. Or you may have strong basics, Biology 12 and English 12 from high school.

You could be coming from another health care profession, such as nursing, or an altogether different field, such as teaching, but you are focused on achieving your goals.

You’re typically in your 20s or 30s, but may be older or younger with a clear direction in mind.
