What you must know about … preventing sexual abuse

CMRITO is pleased to release an updated guideline for MRITs in radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance, and diagnostic medical sonography.

What you must know about … preventing sexual abuse is a comprehensive guide to understanding what constitutes sexual abuse and how best to avoid it. 

This updated practice guideline explains key principles of communication and touching, and identifies several areas that MRTs and DMSs must focus on, including: 
 
  • communicating effectively, paying attention to how information is conveyed and the words they use when speaking with patients
  • being active and compassionate listeners that are sensitive to their patients’ concerns and needs
  • being aware of and respecting cultural and physical barriers that may interfere with clear communication
