*AI guided videos for YouTube*
Dear Ontario Members,
The OSCT Board of Directors have been working diligently to bring as much attention to standardization/regulation as possible, but we need your help. We are turning cases of non-RCT mistakes, near misses, and patient harm into AI guided videos for YouTube. Government members and the public watch these videos and they help to bring a spotlight to these issues. One of our board members was sent three cases in one morning!
Since our last email asking for YouTube video cases, we haven't received any submissions. It doesn't need to be long or formally formatted, but the facts need to be apparent and we can turn it into a video that the public will understand and relate to. As such, the OSCT will award CEUs to the following:
First five (5) cases received will be awarded five (5) CEUs
then the next five (5) will receive four (4) CEUs
then the next five (5) will receive three (3) CEUs
then the next five (5) will receive two (2) CEUs
the cases thereafter will receive one (1) CEU
Please submit you cases to president@osct.ca starting today December 11th, 2024. We will accept submissions until January 02, 2025.
Respectfully,
Blair Arnold
OSCT President

A call to action...
Registered Cardiology Technologists (RCTs) are medical professionals specifically trained in the testing, monitoring, and evaluation of the function of patients’ hearts. The highly sensitive tests they perform, such as Holter monitoring, ECGs, and stress tests, are crucial in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac conditions.
To that end we call upon our membership to print off and sign the a petition available for download at the link below.
Your help and participation is greatly appreciated and strongly encouraged!
