Lisa Woodtke has worked at Algonquin College since the inception of the MRT program in 2010. Her love for education and the Medical Radiation profession merged into the ideal position as a full-time faculty member. She continues to practice in her specialty area of breast imaging as a Certified Breast Imager (CBI). As well as working full-time and continuing to practice she finds time to volunteer with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technology (CAMRT). Her current position as a Coordinator and Professor with the MRT program is very satisfying and the most gratifying element is to watch graduates walk across the stage, accept their diploma and then become coworkers.
