A model for holistic staff development.

In this article the authors describe a holistic staff development model to assist organizations meet their strategic goals. The principles of this conceptual model are generic and can be applied to both service- and business-oriented organizations. The advent of specialization has significantly affected all industries. There has been great growth in individual disciplines, but the result has been loss of integrity of the whole. The authors believe that holistic education, for the purpose of staff development, can help personnel connect individual and corporate goals. Such consolidation fosters close connections between personnel and their organization by integrating practices among individuals and widening their scope.

A mathematical model of radiotherapy department dynamics.

Technical managers are increasingly called upon to plan for the future needs of radiotherapy departments. Such planning involves calculating budgetary and staffing requirements, as well as identifying equipment purchases. To anticipate these needs, a means to assess the department's patient capacity is necessary. This article proposes a mathematical model examining patient flow to assist with the expansion plans of radiotherapy departments.

Learning a living as medical radiation technologist.

Rapid technological change is threatening the ability of current diploma-level medical radiation technology training programs to produce professionals capable of recognizing and adapting to change. The authors argue that because an increasing number of allied medical professions in Canada and abroad are instituting university-level training programs, a degree program in radiation sciences that draws on a wider range of scientific disciplines should also be established in Canada. Such programs would graduate better-trained, more adaptable radiology professionals and help establish medical radiation technology as a true profession with all the benefits such status confers.
